Heh heh... Thanks for your support.

Don't worry, I haven't lost the spirit.  I have a set number of hours to 
work on Cygwin/X per month and now I won't be spending any of those 
hours trying to keep the XFree86 CVS tree in synch.

We will be working with some other X Window System projects.  I will 
make a more formal announcement later, but I want to just code for a few 
days.

Thanks again,

Harold
