Well, Cygwin is up to - er - 1.5.5-1. According to the website B20.1 
dates back to 1998.

Seeing as I want to run Cygwin xfree86 with this(you can download the 
dll but not xfree86 from the link you posted) I do really think I need 
the current version of cygwin.  That means I need to compile.

I suppose I could run the (current) X server I have now and keep the 
outdated dll and dxpc completely seperate, but something tells me 
really, really not to like that idea.
