Thanks. I've had a look at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#setup.hint again,
and once Cygwin-XFree86 starts being included in the setup.ini file, I think
I will be able to get everything to work how I want it, depending on how the
XFree part is packaged. I'm assuming that each part will be in it's own
package?
