[VoxBo] Setting up VoxBo to work remotely

[David January]

Ling (and everyone),

When I checked that box and attempt to run @vs in IDL, I got an error
complaining that either my X11 server is missing or not running.  I
did download the Cygwin/X library.  Is there something special I need
to do to make it run?  How should I set my DISPLAY variable?
