Actually only xglyph.exe (via cygt1x-5.dll) is dependant on X, and
xglyph is only for interactive testing purposes. So I think we can
safely remove it from the require line and add it to the README instead.

Is that any better for you ?

Yes, this is what most of the users probably want.
If xorg-x11-bin-dlls would be smaller I wouldn't care, but it's quite a hefty download.
