Yaakov Selkowitz c7b1625558 xfree86: link modules against Xorg symbols on Cygwin
As a PE platform, all symbols in both EXEs and DLLs must be resolved
at link time.  As Xorg modules depend on symbols in the Xorg
executable, we must build Xorg before its modules, creating an implib
from the former which is used to link the latter.  This implib must
then be installed in order to build the drivers.

Currently only two drivers are supported on Cygwin: xf86-video-dummy
(to replace Xvfb/Xfake) and xf86-video-nested (to replace Xnest/Xephyr).

					X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
following article:

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
Xorg mailing list:
