It's the full Cygwin install, including XFree86.

The native one, I believe.  The only Xlib.h is
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h.  The TclTk is native
as well.

After I do the configure, when I type "make", nothing happens.  Could
you send me a copy of your root level makefile so I can do a diff?

Unfortunatly, that was done with a work copy of the compiler, which I
don't have a copy of, since I'm not employed right now.  Next time I
