Ok, you may now commence with the flinging of FUD.
As a non-Xorg DDX maintainer, several quick questions that jump to mind:
1. Will Xorg even work on Cygwin/MinGW? (I would ask the same of OS X,
but as the Xquartz maintainer I suppose you know what you are doing.)
Even if it does, I see already it would take some serious patching to
build due to the module-based architecture, which I would be willing to
work on.
2. XWin must still provide the /usr/bin/X symlink on Cygwin/MinGW.
3. We would definitely need the wrapper scripts mentioned by Alan to
replace the removed DDXs.
