I agree that cygwin shouldn't do it differently.  If xaw is generally 
the default, I'll do the same.  [I actually thought motif was usually 
the default, based on what I read in Section 2.4.2 of README.config. 
But that's irrelevant since Cygwin only has lesstif, and the 
documentation clearly discourages using that.]  I'll probably still ship 
xdvi-motif as an alternative, since I'm building it for myself anyway.

There are no immediate plans to make a cygwin texlive package, but I'm 
not ruling it out for the future.
