I have a new version, available at http://xlauncher.sourceforge.net
It handles fonts properly, and lets you specify a list of servers to choose,
by name or IP in a text file.
I also added tabs, to tidy up the interface, although this now needs some
tweaking to look nice.

I'm going to add support for saving and restoring sessions, so you can save
many configurations and restore them easily.

How does this work, do I just make a package, and then email cygwin-apps?
Is this valid for this sort of program, where it isn't even compiled using
cygwin?
Is there a way to create an icon on the desktop/start menu using the post 
install scripts?

Cheers,

Tim.
