I have also gotten xfig 3.2 to run very reliably with the MIX X server on
Win95  using b19 with all the fixes as of March 26.
To get the transfig stuff to work you need to take some extra steps:
1) set +u before running xmkmf (if you had "set -u")
2) uncomment the USELATEX2E in the transfig/Imakefile
3) set the jpeg paths in the fig2dev/Imakefile
4) #define MSDOS in genepic.c
5) #define cfree free in free.c
6) edit the fig2dev/Makefile and comment the line "all: fig2dev"
      ("all:" is defined correctly on the next line in the Makefile)
I have compiled the jpeg stuff separately (no problem). Earlier I had tried
not to use jpeg at all. I succeeded only after fixing #ifdef USEJPEG logic
all over the place.
