Wouldn't it be cool if there were a Cygwin library (cygctl.dll) which was 
API compatible with the Windows file dialogs, so you could just compile and 
link your apps (like XEmacs) against it and get nice Windows-style dialogs 
with Cygwin-style paths?

But I should shut up, since I have no intention to write this myself.  :-)

(Now a Cygwin version of gvim (not an X version), that would really be 
useful.  Perhaps, if I ever have some time, and 6.0 is out, I will try to 
do a port.)
