This talk of adhering the FHS made me remember Chuck's proposal for an 'unsupported/' dir (<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-04/msg00306.html>) in ~ftp/pub/cygwin . Chris raised some concerns about the cygwin mailing list filling up with lot's of musings about the 'unsupported' packages, but I think there's a way we can have an unsupported range of packages without the noise: integrate these 'unsupported' offerings with the "Software" list on the cygwin home page.
