RE: include file


 I re-arranged it. Pierre and a couple of others suggested to move it to
3.1 and highlight it, becasue this is really an important point.
/usr/include/X11 creates buggy binaries and have developers scratching thier
heads for hor hours if not week to figure out what in the world messed up
XDisplay subroutines.

Yes it is in the FAQ under the development & compiling X-programs area.

The main cygwin distibution has the files - this question should really
go
to the main cygwin list (unless Chris want's to chime in here?)
