Oh, it's just the trouble of doing the install, then
doing the uninstall, and the trouble of trying to make
sure it was all gone. If I actually wanted to *use* it,
it wouldn't be bad. But I don't want to drag a whole
UNIX environment into my Windows environment, any more
than I want to drag a whole Windows environment into
my Linux environment.


Actually both of those are very desirable things to have
available.  The Cygwin X environment has been built

Hmm, looks like it is used to connect as an X client.
Might be pretty restricted. I'm downloading it now, though.
