x11 forwarding (linux guest, windows host)

I'm playing with sdl2 and rust. In my setup, I ssh from Bash for Windows (WSL) into Ubuntu Server running inside Virtual Box. In order to run my sdl2 app over my ssh connection, I needed to:

• Install xorg in the guest: sudo apt install xorg
• Install Xming on Windows
• Set the DISPLAY variable in my WSL host session: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
• Use the -X flag in my ssh command

Update (2019-01-03): I wasn't able to get this to work perfectly. Namely, existing from the netrw buffer had some problems.
