NOTE:
As to whether the VirtualGL package should depend on Cygwin/X and
OpenSSH, technically the vglconnect script and vglclient application,
despite running in a Cygwin environment, could still be used with an
external X server and SSH implementation not provided by Cygwin. Thus,
it's my opinion that the VirtualGL package should not depend on Cygwin/X
and the Cygwin-provided OpenSSH package. However, I am open to being
convinced otherwise, particularly if there is an established precedent.
We don't make any other X clients depend on the X server, for the same
reason, so this seems good to me.

I intend to package the client for VirtualGL, a toolkit that adds

VirtualGL is currently provided by various Linux distributions and
FreeBSD:
https://pkgs.org/download/virtualgl
https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=VirtualGL
It is licensed under the wxWidgets Library License v3.1:

Archive containing proposed package files:

Looks good to me.
