Local xload for cygwin

[Harold L Hunt II]

Earle,

The normal path for any Cygwin-related patches it that developers send 
them to me, I apply them to my local tree, I make a test release, I ball 
the fixes up and send them to patches at XFree86, Alan Hourihane picks 
up whatever I send him and commits it.  XFree86's Bugzilla was just 
recently setup... this will make an interesting test case to see if 
anything will actually happen with the patch.  I think all the XFree86 
CVS committers know that Alan handles the Cygwin patches, so I am not 
sure if they will even look at it.  Oh well, we will find out.
