Where to find a reliable provider of CygwinX?

[JÃrgen Steensgaard <jsm at steensgaard dot org>]

After having installed a basic version of Cygwin I wanted to install X 
and a few programs that depend on it.  Using one mirror I thought I was 
doing well, but no program X were found.  Somehow I got the information 
that xinit was needed, but that I could not obtain from the mirror. So I 
found another and lo-and-behold: I got xinit, X, and Xemacs.

From previous experience I knew that the X-server should be started 
somehow, but I could not resist to call Xemacs right away.  And believe 
it or not: it could not start, and complained about a missing 
cygjpeg-62.dll.  So back to the provider to have a look for the package 
libjpeg-62, identified by a lookup elsewhere.  But neither of the two 
providers had such a package, but instead some different libjpeg-*. 
After having downloaded all of these, the complaint came back again.

So: please give me some advice on where to find a provider of all 
packages and preferably also some about how packages have been tested 
for completeness.

Sincerely

JÃrgen Steensgaard
