I have been given approval to submit a modified version of Wine's DirectDraw
headers to the Cygwin project.  Accordingly, my to do list is now as
follows:

1)  Prepare Wine's DirectDraw headers for submission to Cygwin
2)  Submit Wine's DirectDraw headers to Cygwin
3)  Prepare Development Framework Release 2
4)  Announce Development Framework Release 2
5)  Massage the DFR 1 online announcement into an initial Cygwin/XFree86
	Contributer's Guide
6)  Wait for other developers to get involved :)

It may be up to a week before I release DFR 2.  As originally stated, DFR 2
will enable both Windows GDI and DirectDraw functions to be called directly
from XWin.exe; all of this will compile with gcc under Cygwin.  I have
already been successfully compiling XWin.exe with Windows GDI and DirectDraw
calls; DFR 2 is essentially a cleanup of my personal code so that it may be
used by other contributers.

I'll keep everyone posted,

Harold
