Done.
ftp:// or http://(www.,ftp.,)linuxhacker.org/pub/microwindows/
is a nightly mirror of microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows.
It's a non-deleting mirror, ie. if all the files on
microwindows.censoft.com accidentally got nuked, linuxhacker wouldn't
also delete them at the next sync.

I think you're right about that.

I'm not sure about that, X is Pretty Damn Big. Several things in it are
much more complicated than we want, and some are not the ideal model for
what we want either (eg. the seperate font server instead of a simple bit
of code in the server which can load font files from a fixed directory).
