+lot of tinkering to get working, depending upon where your X11 installation stores
+libraries and header files and how it names libraries.

+For example, on UBuntu 9.09, I had to do the following to get a clean build:
+
+    cd /usr/lib/
+    sudo ln -s libXext.so.6.4.0 libXext.so

+(I also get a segmentation fault at the conclusion of the NX test -- that will need

+The X11 examples builds on Cygwin, but does not run.  The last time I tried it,
