Regarding the *NIX/X11 vs Win32/GDI versions of packages, I'm presuming 
the GDI versions are for developers who want to port a *NIX app to 
Windows without requiring the user to have Cygwin/X installed.  I'm 
wondering how much reviving the old libW11 project would help remove the 
need for GDI-specific libraries.   Of course, I'm someone who would like 
to be able to use Gnome as a replacement Windows shell (a la Litestep or 
SharpE).

But, with my programming abilities being little more than "configure ; 
make ; make install", I may be completely off base here.
