Description
Windows X-server
based on the xorg git sources (like xming or cygwin's xwin), but
compiled with Visual C++ 2012 Express Edition. Source code can also be
compiled with VS2008, VS2008 Express Edition and VS2010 Express
Edition,
although current project and makefile are not fully compatible
anymore.
