No, you're not missing something.  We've all developed a knee-jerk
response to the subject of discussing X-related issues here.  Normally
that's a good thing.  :-)

You are specifically not talking about X, though.  So, it's perfectly
acceptable to discuss this here.

Just to add to the thread, I assume that if GTK+ can be built using mingw,
it should be pretty easy to build it for native cygwin.  Have you tried
just building it with Cygwin's gcc?
