I'm glad you wrapped this up with a synopsis that you believe
clarifies why you weren't following the explanation from others on
the list.  For my part, what I gathered from this thread was that
there was some confusion about the contents of some packages.  In
an effort to provide a simple answer to that (for posterity), I want
to point out that there's the package search tool at the Cygwin
website which shows you exactly what you get and how it's
organized when you extract it.  This tool is here:

<https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi>

In this thread, I believe the discussion has been referring to the
contents of the cygwin package and the terminfo package.  Here are links
to a listing of the contents of each of these packages:

<https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/cygwin/cygwin-1.7.31-3>
<https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/terminfo/terminfo-5.9-4>

If nothing else, I hope anyone looking at this thread can now solve
the mystery of what files are in any package and how they are
organized when you extract them.  It is certainly useful to
have access to this information and the Cygwin site provides this
very convenient way to see it, without downloading anything.
