Thanks to Thomas Chadwick for releasing Mark's
code as cygwin package x2x-1.30-1.
I think that the next step for x2x is to contact
Debian to see if we can't unite the cygwin and
debian versions of x2x.

Here are some x2x-related hyperlinks:

I have contacted Thomas Chadwick, the Cygwin x2x maintainer, to see if he wants to continue developing x2x.
hacking x2x again
After a number of requests and for my own use,
I'd like to get x2x working better with cygwin.
Since I wrote x2x, I've received a number
of contributions and requests for x2x. If time
permits, I'll merge in some of them.
