[PATCH] xinit: avoid some 'keyboard not working' cases

[Jon TURNEY]

Yaakov,

Attached is a patch against the xinit package in cygports svn:

* In an attempt to avoid some instances of the ever popular "I upgraded X and 
now my keyboard doesn't work" problem, update the X server starting sample 
scripts to actively unset XKEYSYMDB etc., environment variables, rather than 
assuming they are empty.

Also:

* Use 'run' in the shortcut to run startxwin.bat, to avoid a console window 
flashing up, as suggested by Angelo Graziosi in [1]

* Point to 'man XWin' rather than summarizing all the XWin specific command 
line options here, reducing the number of places in which this information is 
kept, in preparation for when I get around to updating it...

For some reason, the postinstall.sh/preremove.sh don't get included in the 
package when I tested building it, not quite sure what I'm doing wrong there...
