xloadimage is an X11 image viewer and processor. The Cygwin package was 
orphaned by Jari earlier this month [1].

xloadimage hasn't been updated for 20 years, and is effectively 
maintained out of Debian with a growing number of patches, some of which 
are quite substantial. xloadimage is (almost entirely) obsoleted by 
ImageMagick, but there are some legacy image formats that xloadimage 
supports that ImageMagick does not. So for this reason it deserves at 
least one more outing.

xloadimage is still found in Debian, Fedora and their respective 
offshoots [2].

This build has the latest patch set from Debian (29 in total), one patch 
from Fedora, and a patch of my own making that fixes the CMUWM image 
handling in 64-bit. Packaging is through cygport, and is heavily 
inspired by the Fedora 'spec' file.

This is the first build of xloadimage for 64-bit. However, for my own 
sanity, the build number is '-2' for both architectures.

Many thanks in advance for looking at this package,

Dave.
