xhost is not requried if he is needs to get the the installer GUI on
the same machine that he is installing on. If the two machines are
different, then the server needs to give the client authority to
display its X applications. This is precisely what xhost does. You
can't just "steal" the server's display without the server giving you
authority.
Exporting the display variable is required. Normally echo $DISPLAY
does not return any value, which means the variable needs to be set
explicitly. In your case, the variable is probably set in some
user-level init script like bash_profile. Either that, or cygwin does
some magic. Haven't worked much on cygwin so I might be wrong here.
