Dan,

FYI, ViewCVS is a surprisingly flexible interface that lets you access CVS
repositories from the web[*].  It's rather impractical for complete module
checkouts, but does allow you to retrieve any individual file via HTTP
pretty easily.  Since your patch only covers 5 files, it might be well to
try at least comparing the latest release with the CVS versions -- though
I doubt there's much divergence, as Harold likes to release "early and
often".

affected files are all in programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/ (select the CYGWIN tag).
