Is anyone planning to port X and GNOME to DOS?

The reason I ask is because I love Linux, and want to have my Windows box looking like
Linux. The ultimate would be to have GNOME and Enlightenment running on Bash. I have Bash,
so I'm half way there.

To me, this seems like the most logical step up for DJGPP and Unix->DOS ports in general.

What would be involved to port GNOME and X to DOS? I realise it would be a lot of work,
but no more than already has been done on DOS ports of the GNU tools.
