Damien,

Huh... this is interesting.

Turns out that Cygwin's tar doesn't work the same as the tar version 
that is in the XFree86 souce tree in the utils module.  I built their 
"gnu-tar" and used it to build the packages and it did include the 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config directory in the prog package, as it is 
supposed to.  I tried messing with the Xprog-list and Xprog-excl files 
to get Cygwin's tar to build the archive properly, but it just wouldn't 
do it.  I will be uploading XFree86-prog-4.3.0-2.tar.bz2 shortly.

Thanks for testing,

Harold
