(via pop-forum) Could XMing on a windows machine handle X11 calls from windows Poplog?

that the excellent XMing utility, together with a remote login ssh
client running in a windows PC allows users to access and run Poplog
remotely on linux, including all the X-window-based graphical
facilities in Poplog.
Since then a thought has just struck me. If XMing can handle the X11
system calls on a remote machine, should it not also be able to
handle them locally (as I believe the nutcracker package did when
ISL were selling Clementine using Windows poplog).
The source code for XMing (including fonts) is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ (43.9 MB)
I wonder if this means that the hooks for invoking X11 from windows
poplog in ISL's poplog version 15.53 for windows could be made to
work with Xming.
