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). >Besides, freetype is useless without the X libraries, anyway. 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.
