Yeah, there wasn't really a follow-up email in that thread.  There was 
an announcement for the XFree86-bin package (*.dll) and the XFree86-prog 
package (*.dll.a) saying that the changes had been applied.  A .lib is 
sort of equivalent to a .dll.a file and a .dll is obviously the same 
thing in both.

I believe that all packages have been updated for the shared Xt library 
and all associated patches, so if you run Cygwin's setup.exe and let it 
update all packages you should be in good shape.
