It has been some time since I suggested the patch below. In the discussions mentioned above, I describe how I managed to get the EPS import feature in XFig working correctly with Cygwin. Sporadicly, I receive e-mail from people that encounter the same problem, do a search on the web for it and find the articles above. By that way, I can see, that the patch is still waiting to be applied. This message is just a little remainder to the Cygwin people with power to integrate the patch and save future generations of XFig on Cygwin users from headaches, when they want to import EPS files.
