hmmm... i'd certainly avoid porting XFree86 to use win32 instead of cygwin...
i have a feeling it'd be a *lot* of effort...
i'm thinking.. if it might work if all the .dll files and XWin.exe required were
compiled to .o or .a files.. then using a COM object, statically link in all
those .o or .a files... (it would be a pretty huge COM obj though, but it's
a start at least?)...

KH,
The scope is probably beyond the scope of this mailing list.
I think you would be better off working first on a version of Cygwin/XFree86 that compiled without Cygwin... then, and only then, could you even begin to worry about wrapping XFree86 with a COM interface.
Cygwin /XFree86 without Cygwin is Win32/XFree86, or some such, is it not?
It always seemed to me that the target specifier ought to come after the main program name: XFree86/Cygwin, XFree86/Win32, etc.
