djgpp is not capable of creating Windoze executables--argument passing is too
@#$! funky.  However, there _is_ a package called xlibemu which emulates the
non-socket-based features of X11; it may be sufficient for your purposes.  It's
on clarkson's ftp site--I can't quite remember the exact name.

Not everyone is so lucky as to HAVE news access, you know  (Yes, I _could_ get
an account somewhere else and telnet there or use one of those posting-by-mail
services, but I find a mailing list much more convenient.  Oh well.)
