[ale] Xlib on Win32

[James P. Kinney III]

I'm not positive on this but I think you're asking for the moon on a
silver platter. :-o

Xlib stuff requires lots of capabilities up and running. That's why it
requires an X server. You could try dodging the Xlib stuff and use a
different backend network/mouse/connection lib but what would it be? You
would probably have to roll most of your own stuff to avoid using X. 

Look at some of the tiny-X stuff. If all you're looking for is a
cross-platform GUI lib set, Qt works as well as wx-windows.
