Hey, what a great idea.  All I have to do is download
the X11 files, throw in xnt.h and ntxlib.c, run an
overall make on all .c files, and play with the linker
error messages.  As a zeroeth approximation.  Only
problem is getting the defines right:

for %%f in (*.c) do gcc -c -O5 -I./ -DNeedFunctionPrototypes=1 -D_ConversionValues -DGRAY -D__STDC__ %%f
ar cr libX11.a *.o
ranlib libX11.a
