[This is an X-app, so people in cygwin-xfree might be interested.  I 
posted this to cygwin-apps earlier today.]

I would like to contribute and maintain dx and dxsamples for Cygwin:

     http://www.opendx.org/

Description from opendx.org:

If you need visualization for anything from examining simple data sets
to analyzing complex, time-dependent data from disparate sources, OpenDX
has what you need: features and functions that let you easily gain
meaningful insight into your data.


***Reviewer's Caveat***: The 'dx' command segfaults on startup, when run
without any parameters, in XGetGCValues (IIRC)  (which runs the
'startupui' command by default).  However, the other commands do appear
to work.  For example, 'dx -edit' works; you can load any of the sample
programs and execute them to view their output.  I am not a user of dx,
so I can't do much more testing.  The 'startupui' bug is something that
can be fixed after this is released into the wild.  Be sure to open a
new login shell before trying to run 'dx' since the scripts in profile.d
need to be run to add 'dx' to your path.
