Before, i fly away for a month, i uploaded new XF86 binaries.

I have update the binaries in xc-4-binaries directory
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries .

Binaries were compiled from the latest XF86 CVS sources!

ONLY WINDOWS NT/2000 is supported at the moment.  Sorry folks
for the vanilla Winows 9x/Me.

WHAT IS NEW:
===========
1) Corrected the startxwin.bat  (removed \usr\bin\X11).

2) Updated XWin.exe, runs in full screen mode, but might
work better.

3) New libraries, libGLw.a and libXrender.a(dll) from the
latest XF86 sources. These libraries are now part of XF86.

4) Xmh (X mail client) is now part of official XF86.

5) Xedit in xfree86-4.0-Prog should work. A Couple of users reported
ptty errors and a crash.

I recommend getting Mxterm from "contrib" directory, because
it has a nice MOTIF scrollbar.  Also use XCFWM from "contrib" diectory
instead of twm might be a better idea.
