Hi guys,

due to Aram's request for permission to translate the FAQ, I accidentally
stumbled over FAQ entry 6.40, "How should I port my Unix GUI to Windows?",
http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.unix-gui

Per cvs annotate, this text is at least 7 years old but probably older.
As such, it is hopelessly outdated.

Given that we have X, the X server, and a lot of extra libs like GTK
Qt, etc, does anybody have a good idea how to rewrite the FAQ entry
so that it makes sense in our modern times?  Kind of like "only
marginal porting necessary"?  Patches are welcome.


Thanks,
Corinna
