    It's /usr/include/X11/Xpoll.h on my system.  That patch indeed makes
the compilation proceed further.  It's now stuck at:

    I found that tip useless as in I couldn't make any form of "setup -q
-Pfoo" install a package.  As for the GUI, I believe I just set:

      * X11, editors, shells, net: install
      * X11->xorg-server: source
      * devel: install  [need for cygport]
      * Python: install [for lxml for X server compiling]

This is *way* easier than trying to find the dozens of packages by name
and trying to figure out what to check to get them.
