You didn't answer this with your below answer. The cygserver-config
requires administrator privilege so it would be better placed with
cygserver.exe in sbin, IMO.

But cyglsa{,64}.dll is a standalone without any other binary. It is
only accessed by the OS for the LSA support if the registry key exists.
This means the cyglsa-config can be modified to point to the sbin
directory instead of the bin directory. Again administrator privilege
is required so better placed in sbin, IMO.
