Er, I guess it's time I stepped in, then.

Since the name of this mailing list is "cygwin-xfree" and the site you
are using is cygwin.com, I would not expect too much traffic here
regarding non-cygwin solutions.

This *has* come up before and I think I'm being pretty consistent here.

Alexander, if you are going to be devoting a lot of time to this project
from now on do we need to find a Cygwin/X maintainer?  It seems like you
may need to find another mailing list, at least.
