They are probably indeed the same as on cygwin, but the structure on
cygwin (and everywhere else) is wrong. The one on MinGW is right
(there could be slight improvements even on that one, but that is not
too important).

Still, the exact structure doesn't help much as long as the tex user
doesn't add those folders to his TeX distribution.
