Robert :
The easiest path is to use Cygwin and Cygwin/X, your code doesn't need
to be changed, you just run the X server on Windows (there's another for
MinGW but not as good) and rebuild everything using the Cygwin
development environment. There's even a cross development system, Linux
to Cygwin, that was announced today:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fedora-cygwin/.
That of course is good only if you want to run your applications for
yourself. I've done it with a few applications, they still look like
they do under X Windows, and work fine (Cygwin emulates the Unix file
system, devices, etc.)
If you want to distribute them... then your requirement is that
everybody will have to install Cygwin/X.
The alternative is to use a ported libX11 that uses Windows graphics
(the one you point out doesn't mention anything like that so it doesn't
seem to be a real port, just a library that still needs an X server, but
I haven't really look into it), there are partial ports, some not even
published, XEmacs for Windows used one last time I saw (long time ago,
and no they didn't improve it, it was partial and very few other
applications built with it).
