Re: xfree packages

If I understood you correctly you wanted the Xfree gzipped archives turned into bzipped archives.  I have done this using the 4.2.0 cygwin binaries provided at xfree86.org.  I stuck with the .tar.bz2 convention most cygwin packages seem to use.  Please note that the Xfnts package seems to have .gz files in it (I'm assuming that's gzipped fonts) and didn't compress well.

For the rest of the week they can be accessed at:
        ftp://rgm.nu/pub/cygwin-xfree/

File list follows.
