RE: [coLinux-devel] Cygwin1.DLL dependancies

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

there is one thing that cygwin X does much better than any current or
proposed alternative

in multiwindow mode it makes X windows into windows windows which are
handled just like any other windows window (no window manager needed)

imho this is by far the nicest way of using X with windows that is currently
possible

I just have to ask, why do we really want to depend on cygwin?  If it is
just for the X server, it seems we have better alternatives.  We will
have (at some point in the near future) a framebuffer device. If there
are other reasons, let's discuss them, rather than whether or not we can
include cygwin1.dll in the installation package.
