What would be the point? I mean, if you want Windows app inside XFree, I 
think you'd be better of using Wine and help them finish it than writing 
this kind of driver.
The goal of Cygwin/XFree is the opposite of Wine, it's about having X 
Window inside Windows.

More over, if you have GDI-fake->X->GDI-real, that would be quite ugly 
for the speed.
