Well, sort of, but we need to discuss this here as well.  I have been 
telling people that the lib*.dll libraries for Cygwin/X would be going 
away for a few months now and apparently the emacs maintainer has not 
had a chance to recompile their package in 8 months.

emacs really needs to get rebuilt since I will be pulling thos lib*.dll 
libraries from the distribution within the next week or so.

On a side note, emacs must have been missing XFree86-lib-compat as 
dependency in setup.hint for about 8 months now; this would explain why 
this user does not have those libraries.
