VcXsrv Windows X Server

VcXsrv is a Windows X-server based on the xorg git sources (like xming or cygwin's xwin), but compiled with Visual C++ 2012 Express Edition. Source code can also be compiled with VS2008, VS2008 Express Edition and VS2010 Express Edition, although current project and makefile are not fully compatible anymore. VcXsrv is better than Xming and can be used with WSL and WLS2.
