There are two sorts of tarballs. The regular releases and snapshots. The
last regular release was 4.3.0 and is about 3 months old. The snapshots
are much newer. But getting the xfree source from cvs is the recommended
way.
Unfortunately the rootless code was added after the 4.3.0 release, so we
still don't have it in the xoncygwin repository.
