 This would run automatically whenever packages are downloaded and
 installed in one shot.  It wouldn't run if someone downloads everything
 and then installs piecemeal, though.

I think there are lots of things that don't work when cygwin
is not installed via setup.  I can't think of any other way...

 The script to move the files would be the only thing in the package and
 it would be a post-install script.

Done :)

 The other would be to get people to use it ;)
 
 Well, that's my mental thoughts on paper(?!).  Any comments?
 would it be worth doing?
 
 Here's how _update-info-dir does it:

Thanks :)

So - do you...
1) Think it's worth it
2) Think the _way_ I'm proposing is OK and,
3) think I should implement it? :)

Yes to all.

The first is that this script, although best as a postinstall,
would have be executed _after every install_.

Here's how _update-info-dir does it:

  sdesc: Generate info/dir file automatically
  category: _PostInstallLast
  requires: texinfo ash
  autodep: usr/info/.*
  incver_ifdep: yes

You'd probably want something like:

  sdesc: Conditionally move default files to proper location
  category: _PostInstallLast
  requires: ash
  autodep: etc/defaults/.*
  incver_ifdep: yes
