This is what I meant in my other mail: User events are not communicated.
I think that if this can be fixed, there should not be a problem in getting
Lazarus to work. That's why I don't think it will be 'weeks' or 'months'.

(of course, after that there will probably be a lot of debugging necessary,
but essentially, lazarus should work)

The best way I think is to see why the simple apps don't work (you can use
the insight debugger that comes with cygwin for this) and fix that. After
that Lazarus will probably function as well.
