Harold,
The file (startx.cpp) is in xc/programs/xinit, and the xoncygwin tree only
has xc/programs/Xserver. Are you going to use the tree on freedesktop.org
(which is already set up at "xorg") for further builds of the non-server
parts? If so, should I use the MAIN branch there, or the XORG-CURRENT
branch?
