See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-11/msg00928.html for instructions to
configure your packages. You must be willing to agree to be the package
maintainer for these packages. Currently, packages distributed via
cygwin/latest and cygwin/contrib should not require an X server as Cygwin
doesn't yet distribute one.
David, can this be FAQed please?
