Actually under Cygwin it is using AF_UNIX. For Win32-X11 project I used
Only Microsoft Winsock32, which most of the commercial X-servers do.
Therefore I asked the Aventail users if they can test some clients, e.g.
Xclock, and oclock etc from win32-x11 project. I am working on a binary
release which will use winsock32. Let's see if that will help.
