The Cygwin emacs-21.2 package comes with a script to build it from the 21.2 tar file. There is nothing special in the script, it just applies some patches, does the build, then packages everything up in the format that Cygwin wants for installable packages. If there are problems with the Cygwin port patches I did, I would be glad to help figure out what is wrong. Joe Buehler
