If you plan to do any development (UNIX style) you will need the
cdk.exe.  As for the location to install, I prefer:

c:/root/bin
c:/root/usr/bin
c:/root/usr/include
c:/root/usr/lib
c:/root/usr/local/bin
c:/root/usr/local/include
c:/root/usr/local/lib

move bash.exe, sh.exe and cygwinb19.dll to c:/root/bin/
move all other cygwin executables to c:/root/usr/bin/
move the cygwin libALL_LIBS.a to c:/root/usr/lib/
move the cygwin headers to c:/root/usr/include/

any non-cygwin related files would go to the appropriate sub-directory
under c:/root/usr/local/ such as your GNAT compiler.
