[ITP] xlaunch (experimental)

[Jon TURNEY <jon dot turney at dronecode dot org dot uk>]

xlaunch is a simple Windows GUI tool for starting XWin.

xlaunch was written by Alexander Gottwald in 2005, and is included with the
Xming and VcxSrvX Windows X servers (which derive from the same upstream
sources as the cygwin X server).

I'd like to package this as:

- It simplifies launching the X server with custom options, avoiding the
complex instructions in FAQ 4.2 [1].  It also avoids the forward-compatibility
problems those instructions might have.

- It also makes it possible to automate starting XWin and a remote X client
without writing custom scripts.

- It might help to make running complex desktop environments in windowed mode
work out-of-the-box.

I've done some work to make it functional on cygwin, but it probably needs a
bit more work to be truly useful.
