FWIW, Debian and Gentoo both do as proposed.

Gentoo did this already with X11R6.8.2.  I would agree, with the
upcoming modular, autotooled X11R7, that the whole reason for the
/usr/X11R6 exception to the FHS no longer applies.

What does "Cygwin native" mean?  If Cygwin is meant to be a POSIX
environment, then X11 should be the standard for GUI apps.
