Well, then there are probably good news from FLTK. The
current development version (1.3.0) can be configured to
work with cygwin/X11 OOTB:

$ ./configure --enable-cygwin --enable-x11

Since this version also supports UTF-8, this might be a
good step for Cygwin 1.7 anyway. But it's not yet released,
and this may take some more time (probably months).

For the latest stable release (1.1.10) a configure patch
to make it work with X11 has been posted by the Cygwin
maintainer (Teun Burgers), but didn't make it into the
final release. He also supplied the configure/X11 patch
for the current development version.

This would probably be easy to maintain in a normal Cygwin
release. But I don't know Teun's plans.

Just my 2 ct.

Albrecht
