I just built it myself, and this looks pretty good. I can start xterm
and urxvt-X wjust fine without a flickering cmd window.
However, what does NOT work anymore is to start the X server. I had
to start it manually for testing xterm/urxvt.
Given that the X server shortcut is just a `run /usr/bin/startxwin.bat',
is it possible that the new incarnation doesn't start cmd correctly?
