Will there be two FreeCiv's or just one?  If there's only a single 
binary, and it's X-based PLUS ncurses based, then I would consider it an 
X app; it should be discussed on cygwin-xfree.

If there are two binaries (and X version and a separate ncurses version) 
that can each be installed independently of the other -- with perhaps a 
third "common" package that each depends on -- then I'd probably 
two-track it.  Post to both cygwin-apps and cygwin-xfree.

Or, release it in stages: first the non-X version, thru cygwin-apps. 
Then later the X- version, which should probably be discussed on both 
cygwin-apps and cygwin-xfree.  (Yeah, ghostscript-X should've been cc:ed 
to cygwin-xfree, probably).

if it is solely X-based, or if the maintainer is only going to release 
an X version, then stay strictly on cygwin-xfree.

IMO.  :-)
