Fine with me.  I will be working on setup.exe in comming weeks.  
Would be able to provide *.tar.gz files for setup.exe?  I was using Bzip2
compressed archive to save space on sources.redhat.

One problem beside a few B20.1 posts you might face, users might start
posting messages to Cygwin mailing list.  Since we have functional server I
have noticed more posts regarding xfree at Cygwin mailing list.

Harold  code will be officially part of Xfree86 4.1.0 which will be released
next month by XF86 ORG.  The International keyboard support from Alexander
might be officially in 4.1.1.  

I plan to make setup.exe before XF86 4.1.0 is released by XF86 ORG.

Sure.  I don't want to put X in the standard Cygwin setup.exe now.  When
we have the ability to select based on category, maybe then...  By then,
I assume that things will be even better than they are now.

I also wouldn't do this without asking first since I know that making
this
available will present an immediate support burden here.

"I just installed Cygwin XFree86 B20.1 and I couldn't B20.1 the alt key
on the keyboard.  This works fine on UNIX.  Do I have to B20.1 something
else?"
