I wonder if the change to the X stuff if showing up here. Old install of X
brought in pretty much everything but the new modular install is much more
frugal. I never checked what happened to the old stuff when I updated to the
new X in 1.5. I don't think it removed the already installed X stuff, so I'm
thinking that an old 1.5 install (even upgraded) with X could show quite a
few more files than a new 1.5 or 1.7 install with X.

Probably the easiest way to see the differences is the massage the cygcheck
outputs and simply diff the two.
