That might be technically possible but large doesn't even begin to
describe it. At that point we might as well think about bundling a live
ISO with an emulator and do things that way - it would probably be simpler.

Keep in mind that this would be an X Windows application under Microsoft
Windows, and would not match at all closely the look and feel of any
normal Windows application. Also, it may conflict with existing
cygwin/X setups - not sure about that.

I don't quite know about the technical difficulty, as it's been a while
since I have dealt with any of these systems. I would expect such a
bundle to be HUGE.
If we can successfully release a "normal" Windows binary perhaps we can
look next at bundling cygwin and X for an "all-in-one" type release.
