Just a little note:  You have things the wrong way round.  What you need is
an X _server_ for Windows.  It's a common misconception, though.  :-)

Besides MI/X (which I've seen mentioned) there are quite a few commercial
options.  Of the ones I've evaluated, by far the most comprehensive is
Hummingbird's Exceed (http://www.hummingbird.com/).  Costs $$$$, though.

Shouldn't have to do anything.
