As a non-Xorg DDX maintainer, several quick questions that jump to mind:

1. Will Xorg even work on Cygwin/MinGW?  (I would ask the same of OS X, 
but as the Xquartz maintainer I suppose you know what you are doing.) 
Even if it does, I see already it would take some serious patching to 
build due to the module-based architecture, which I would be willing to 
work on.

2. XWin must still provide the /usr/bin/X symlink on Cygwin/MinGW.

3. We would definitely need the wrapper scripts mentioned by Alan to 
replace the removed DDXs.
