I think the mistake is on your part. I am not proposing a fork. I am
suggesting that the freetype package be contributed by cygwin-xfree into
the base set of packages for cygwin. If the answer to that is "it will
happen soon, just wait a bit" then that's fine. You could have said that
without the condescendence(tm).

Well, judging from the original email, it is at least useful for PHP, which
is not X based to my knowledge. I know I've used it in another application
that was not X based. So I guess it is not totally useless with the X
libraries, anyway.
