I see the original message has led
to quite some discussion and even a decree.

What is the status on the upload?
My setup.exe seems to crash on an increasing
number of mirrors right after download
of setup.ini. This is the message:

   SETUP heeft een algemene beschermingsfout veroorzaakt 
   in module USER.EXE op 0004:00005ff0.

   (dutch for general protecting fault).

I couldn't agree more. Putting them under XFree86 strongly suggests that
the package would be part of XFree86, and that is not the case.
