It might be wise if someone from the NEdit project would review the

I don't use windows/cygwin so I can't really comment on
platform-dependent bugs, but I can comment on platform *independent*
bugs, namely building with the wrong version of Lesstif/Open Motif. As
long as you aren't bypassing any warnings when building NEdit 5.4 (e.g.
defining BUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT) things should be fine on this account.
I didn't have to define BUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT, but I don't think that
check_lin_tif was being built in the default build for Cygwin, so the
version of LessTif is not being checked. When I built it manually it
showed that 0.93.91 is an untested version, but not a version explicitly
known to be broken.
P.S. Props to you for keeping your cool when dealing with the XFree86
project. Very professional. Too bad the same can't be said for them.
I think it would probably be unprofessional to comment on that publicly. ;)
