I have setup a Donations page on the Cygwin/XFree86 site.
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/donations.html
On the page is a link to contribute funds to Cygwin/XFree86 on the
project-level (which I will collect and distribute to anyone needing a book
or some equipment for development --- after they have become an established
Cygwin/XFree86 developer). There is also a section for links to any
individual contributor's web pages. Currently there is only my own link on
this page:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/donations.htm
The PayPal account that I have setup can accept credit card payments from
anyone; additionally, PayPal members should be able to directly transfer
funds into my PayPal account from their own account.
By all means, do not feel obligated to make a donation. Also, realize that
future Cygwin/XFree86 development does not depend upon the amount of
donations received. Granted, it will be easier to do development when I
know that my hardware upgrade costs are taken care of, but I will always be
spending some amount of time tinkering with Cygwin/XFree86 regardless of the
amount of donations. Think of the donations as either a way for you to give
a token of your appreciation or as a way for you to influence the priority
and amount of time put in to developing some feature that you would benefit
from.
Let the donations begin! ;)

P.S. One contributor has already given $25 and I thank him for that (he
knows who he is).
