Ah - yeah - then you're probably right.  I'd be suprised if X11 under
Windows supports accellerated OpenGL - but that may not have anything
to do with CygWin - you'd probably have the same problem with a program
compiled with MSVC running under X11 under Windows.

No - but I know a lot of people who do.
