13 (jhar) I split the native-win32 build directory off from the nt build
14 directory. This is probably(?) a bad thing and I intend to try to merge the
15 w32 changes back in.

37 If you want support for X you will need:
44 38
39 1. An X server. MI/X is available on the Internet for free; It is
40 available from: http://www.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mixdlfrm.htm
41 2. The MIT X11R6.3 libraries available from: ftp.x.org
42 3. You'll need to compile the MIT libraries without multi-thread support.
43 To do this, there is an example Win32.cf and site.def provided which
44 set the relevant flags. You will also need to apply the patch in
45 nt/X11.patch in the xc/lib/X11 directory which will fix the DLL definition
46 file. Once compiled and installed, you will need to apply the following
47 patch to Xmd.h. This is messy and better solutions would be appreciated.
