The minimal configuration for running _ONLY_ the server is
XWin.exe, libcygwin1.dll and libz.dll. Use this to experiment,
but don't ask on the ML if this doesn't work. I had it running
in nearly this way (the dll's copied into xc/programs/Xserver)
but I used fonts from a linux machine and session via xdmcp from
linux box.
Of course this is only for those who know what the're doing.
