Since I'm not seeing this in the FAQ, I wanted to propose the
following item: what would be required to go "from zero to xterm"?
I.e. from a Cygwin-less windows box (windows>= 2k) to getting a
Cygwin/X xterm up on one's screen?
From my recent experience, it seems to me the "minimal install"
would be
0<whatever setup.exe wants to install by default/>
1 font-misc-misc
2 font-alias
3 ncurses
4 xinit
5 xterm
I've adjusted the package dependencies for xterm so now the needed things to
start it without warnings should be installed automatically

Yes, as pointed out elsewhere, something like this is probably most
appropriate in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Patches welcome :-)
