I've been toying with the idea of just porting Fedora packages to Win32.
But considering what little luck I've had compiling rpm against uclibc I
don't have high hopes for getting it to compile with mingw let alone
run...

Using a native Win32 GTK/QT would make the whole X server problem
moot...

There is a native Xlib for Win32 that doesn't use Xserver, libW11 (http://libw11.sf.net) which is supposed to be compatible with libX11 and translating those calls into GDI.
