Cygwin users who install the emacs package don't get the elisp sources; 
they have to install the emacs-el package for that.  So if Doug hasn't 
installed emacs-el, then (locate-library "simple.el") will fail, whereas 
(locate-library "simple") will correctly give 
"/usr/share/emacs/24.2/lisp/simple.elc".
