This is true.  The comment is already rather overlong, so I didn't go into 
details about how bdftopcf fortunately just happens to still link on cygwin 
with a static libXfont with this change because it doesn't pull in any .o from 
libXfont.a which references serverGeneration.

This isn't a very clean way of fixing the problem, but I don't really see any 
good alternatives.
