Re: 4th summary (was Re: [HEADSUP] ALL Maintainers, please reply.)

The following is useful information from me... I'm giving some guidance 
on decisions that need to be made, but I've long since relinquished any 
responsibility to make those decisions, so just ignore my advice if you 
disagree, rather than getting all uppity about how I'm not in charge and 
shouldn't be making these sorts of decisions.

I'm listed as the maintainer in the README, but I haven't been 
maintaining this since mid-2004.  Alexander Gottwald would taken this 
over, but he's not involved with Cygwin/X anymore, so I guess this 
should fall to Alan H.  But, if no one takes it, it needs to go away and 
people can access Cygwin/X docos on the website.

Alexander Gottwald is listed as the maintainer for these, but he isn't 
involved with Cygwin/X anymore, so these should go to Alan H.  These 
can't really be removed... so Alan H really needs to find a maintainer 
for them if he doesn't want them.

Thomas Chadwick used to maintain this... but he and I worked closely on 
it.  I'm not interested if he doesn't reply, so this might be up for 
grabs or it might just go away.

I'm still listed as the maintainer of this and I declare it obsolete. 
I'm not going to maintain it anymore and it doesn't need to exist 
anymore, so please remove it from the distribution.

I'm still listed as the maintainer of this.  This is a window manager 
that goes hand-in-hand with a feature in Cygwin/X... but that feature 
was never finished and hasn't been updated since April of 2004.  I claim 
this is dead... but it should probably be assigned to Alan H. and he can 
request that it be removed if he isn't going to pursue it any further.
