XFree86-lib-compat (provides old 4.2.0 libraries for compatibility with applications that have not been recompiled in almost a year) has been removed as a dependency of XFree86-base. This means that XFree86-lib-compat will no longer be installed in a default Cygwin/X installation. If you maintain any Cygwin/X packages that depend on the libraries in XFree86-lib-compat please recompile your application ASAP against the new libraries in the 4.3.0 releases. The XFree86-lib-compat package will be removed from the distribution when the next major release of Cygwin/X is made (within three months, possibly as soon as a month). In the mean time, if an application complains that it cannot find libX11-6.dll (or lib*-?.dll), then install the XFree86-lib-compat package and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, notify the maintainer of the package in question that they should recompile their package against recent X libraries. If it does not fix the problem, then your trouble lies elsewhere.
