In order to be more Unix-like, /usr/bin does not have subdirectories.
Look at the structure of Linux. I'm going to remove Windows Services for
Unix and just use both Cygwin and Visual studio.
Try and look into /usr/bin on Linux and see what Chris is talking about.

What is the reason for this? I feel this specific case would be a sensible
exception to the rule.
