Well, you know, XFree86's disregard for offers to help made by 
developers that have been with the project for over two years are 
certainly part of the problem.

Seriously, I don't know why I waste my time submitting patches that are 
specific to my platform and then wait up to three weeks for them to be 
committed.  It is a waste of my time and an insult that I am made to do 
this while other platform maintainers made the luck of the draw and get 
to commit their patches directly.  Here it is: Let me commit my own 
patches within two months or I am going to let 
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin die; I will stop sending updates, I will 
request that you remove hw/xwin and stop advertising that you support 
Cygwin.
