Peter, Chris Faylor had said that apps that run under X need to go in the XFree86 directory... but I'm not sure if that means that it should be stuffed into the XFree86 category as well:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-04/msg00538.html Does x3270 only have an X component or does it run in a normal shell too?
