 To build XWin.exe, please read http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/cygwin-xfree-cg.html

 The patch can be applied as shown in the following command
$pwd
~/x-devel/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin
$bunzip2 rootless.patch.bz2
$patch -p1 < rootless.patch

 I edited xc/config/cf/cygwin.rules to disable version controlled .dll,
but is it right?
