====== Clipboard fix for Cygwin/X ======

Specifically, when I use GVIM under Cygwin/X the following doesn't work correctly:
  - Copy from GVIM
  - Paste to Windows-app
  - Copy different text from GVIM
  - Paste to Windows-app <-- You get the text from step 1 here

[[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5735|See the Freedesktop.org bug on the xorg product]]

To my knowledge, this patch hasn't been incorporated into Cygwin/X. I'll have to build the source and apply the patch myself.


===== Upgrade to a newer XWin.exe =====
<note warning>
No Joy here.

Attempted to install Cygwin package sources and entire source tree from Freedesktop.org, but wasn't able to compile the vanilla X server. (Cygwin seems to be missing various build-system Makefiles or similar, Freedesktop.org didn't like my version of ''cpp'' and then demanded I install pkg-config, another Freedesktop.org util...)
