My question is: are there enough gitk users who would need/want the

I would be for adding Cygiwn's xorg-server as a dependency for any
package that needs an X-Server to be generally useful.

Probably xorg-server could be made a conditional dependency (not sure if cygwin supports these), e.g. triggered by a registry value or env setting, and it could be enabled by default, while some users could configure it to tell the installer that they use some external X-Server?
