That shouldn't be a problem then. For now, people who need ipc/shm support
will need to go get cygipc and build X themselves. The patch makes it easy
for us to turn it on/off.

How long do you think before in-cygwin IPC hits maturity ? As with X maturing
rapidly on Windows people will start needing it, and thus the only option
currently is cygipc.
