More interesting is, what's missing [1].

Yup:

Can you (or other XEmacs/Cygwin users) investigate *why* XEmacs

You may also try to compile and install Gnus using `make.bat'.

It's a matter of taste.  I like to have the *.el/*.elc files in
.../site-lisp/gnus-Oort and the info files in .../info.

Bye, Reiner.

[1] With XEmacs-21.4.12 (on Linux) I get the following additional
*.elc files compared to your list:
