Hello X Cygwin project. I got tired of the only option to use an X Server on
Windows to be either use the X-Win32 trial (like i would pay $200+ for that!)
or install the full cygwin environment. So what I did was take out the
binaries required to run the X Server (along with ssh and rsh) and put a
Windows GUI interface to it, then packaged it with an installer so that the
average user could download and use it. Please check it out at
http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/ and let me know what you guys
think. My next step is to rebuild the binaries from the sources, allow for
installation along side of Cygwin without interference, and add -mwindows to
remove the cmd.exe box that comes up with each window.
