Most of the applications is to get xapplications to display from other
hosts, of course they also can display x-applications running on the
windows machine, but I haven't seen the X11-libs included.

You know that there actually is works under the cygwin 'wings' to get
the Xfree server to run under cygwin. The X-libraries are already
ported.
