cygwin-xfree is a development project. The X-server are being
developed. You can still use X11R6.x libs/development tools from
cygwin-xfree with Cygwin and port your "Cantata" to Windows. You
would need a commercial Xserver to display your ported application
till our X-servers are functional.

Yes, that is right. John had been working on XGGI since almost a
year. He now has an x-server which is not yet ready to be released
for public.
