I think I found a bug:

There is no stdout or stderr.

So for example, "xwin --version" does not output anything.

Nothing is logged to /var/log/xwin/Xorg.0.log when I type that
command. This is the same as with xorg-server 1.15.

If I specify an invalid argument (e.g. "xwin --foobar"). then I see
the information dialog box, and the xwin usage info is outputted to
that log file.

I did all my testing with 32-bit Cygwin.

$ xwin --version

mike@executor ~
$ cygcheck.exe -c xorg-server

$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out

mike@executor ~
$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck-xorg16.out


In contrast to xorg-server 1.15:

mike@executor ~
$ xwin --version
