MMhm but how do I know that the msvc-DLLs are the ones in Xwin32.. 

I have learnt whats the difference, but not through reading the FAQ or
looking around at the site.. 

Maybe a question like

"Whats the difference between Win32-X11, Cygwin X11, shadowbetas, XGGI.."

Win32-X11 Compiled with Visual c++ 
        Why use, why not.. who maintains?? Where to get info
        Nothing we want to see.. ? :-)

Cygwin X86 Compiled with cygwin's gcc
        It is the best, no reason to not use, guys maintaining
        and using it can be found in cygwin-xfree@... 

Shadowbetas: CygwinX86 tests to get something working.. 

XGGI:
        Old unmaintained.. any special reason for using this?
