Re: My patches


Further elaboration on experience with Sergey's B18 patch with NT 4:

o  both the new cygwin.dll and libX??.dll's are needed for X11R6.3,
   neither on their own is enough.

o  previously compiled (B17.1) X clients now work fine.

o  previously supplied libX??.a stubs work fine for rebuilding clients.

o  NT extended attributes are a mixed blessing ... copying NTFS 
   files generated under SOS cygwin.dll across to VFAT gives an 
   ever-growing "EA DATA. SF" file that needs CHKDSK to repair.
