I am using Hummingbird's Exceed X Server, 
    http://www.hummingbird.com/products/exceed/
I set the environment variable DISPLAY=:0

I installed the "X client libs for NT" from 
    http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/

Fvwm needs xpm so I got that from: 
    ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4j.tar.gz

Fvwm can be obtained from: 
    http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/

The steps to install are:
	tar -xvzf package.tar.gz
	cd package
	xmkmf -a
	make
	make install

Sometimes the install target in the Makefile will have: 
   cp foo /usr/local/bin/foo
These need to be changed to: 
   cp foo.exe /usr/local/bin/foo.exe

There are some sample .fvwm2rc files included in the distribution, 
copy one of these to your home directory. 

If you run fvwm, you'll want to set the Exceed 
    Xconfig->Window Mode->window manager to X.

You'll need Sergey's coolview and remote.tar.gz.
