At the moment they are just me playing around, getting accustomed to
cygwin setup, hoping to get some feedback to see if I got it right.

separate .tgz? I The executable tgz's of the xfree package? I am
considering giving it a try using them instead.. small ptoblem might
be version numbering, can I put version numbers in the hints file?
(the dist tgz files today is automagically built by xfree makefile(?)

possible)
