I thought you were discussing removing X11 support from the windows
builds:

I didn't realize that cygw32 meant that you use the --with-w32 options.
Cygw32 was something I had never heard of and I thought it just meant
the regular cygwin builds.

I don't think that use of emacs through X11 on windows is a hugely
common occurance, but I use it so I thought I would use my voice.  Just
some confusion about what you were actually talking about, so my
mistake.
