I recently ported GNU emacs to Cygwin. It would help reduce the
disk space requirements if some refinement was done on the xfree
packaging.
The particular thing that is immediately obvious is that the dll's that
emacs requires are in the XFree86-bin package, along with a *lot*
of other stuff that emacs does not require.
A base runtime package that contains only those things that an X11 client
needs would be mighty nice. Config files, fonts, dll's, etc.
