Re: New Project (was RE: X client wrapper for Win apps?)

This is a notice to everyone on this list that we will (for a short time 
at least) be using this list to discuss a new project intended to allow 
ordinary Windows programs to appear in X-Windows. This is quite 
different to the original purpose of this list, but was suggested on a 
discussion on the cygwin-xfree list where it was felt that this was 
appropriate as the win32-x11 project is no longer being actively 
developed. See the cygwin-xfree archives over the last few days for more 
info (and the suggestion in Christopher Faylor's message below)
