Yes, I'm interested.  The target of the project, just to be clear, is a
Win32 mapping to the X11 API.  "Bub" had started it and I think it's
needed in order to avoid having to have an X server.  I'm contemplating
a name for the project and have come up with "W11" but I'm willing to be
persuaded for something else.
