I suspect there > have been many emacs changes that are not compatible with > Cygwin 1.5. Dunno what is meant here by "support Cygwin", but FWIW (probably not much) I still use Cygwin 1.5. I do so because it seems to work OK for my use cases and because I have come across lots of problems reported here and there wrt later versions (and Emacs). (Yes, I know, you can find whatever problems you want on the Internet, real or wrong. Still, why upgrade if I don't need to?) I do not run Emacs inside Cygwin, but I use Cygwin's `grep' and other commands from Emacs, and I use Cygwin's bash shell interactively. I probably won't be upgrading Cygwin anytime soon unless I'm forced to. But I'm no doubt not your typical Cygwin user. Just one data point to consider. Or not.
