There have been a number of lesser attempts at creating an X-server for 
Windows over the years but none of them were as good as Xming or 
Cygwin.  I haven't tried this vcxsrv yet and hopefully it is better than 
some of the previous attempts.  The project looks to be about a year old 
and the project page looks recently active which is a good sign.  
Requires Visual Studio to compile.

Heinz, would you have to do a special client release to support it?

Regards,
Gerry
