I think the mistake is on your part.  I am not proposing a fork.  I am 
suggesting that the freetype package be contributed by cygwin-xfree into 
the base set of packages for cygwin.  If the answer to that is "it will 
happen soon, just wait a bit" then that's fine.  You could have said that 
without the condescendence(tm).

Well, judging from the original email, it is at least useful for PHP, which 
is not X based to my knowledge.  I know I've used it in another application 
that was not X based.  So I guess it is not totally useless with the X 
libraries, anyway.
