EMACS_21_1_RC is the bugfix branch of CVS that will soon become 21.3. For our purposes, we are more interested in patches against the trunk, since that is where these patches would be installed, but if the 21.2 patches are not installing cleanly against the EMACS_21_1_RC branch you probably want to update them anyway so Cygwin can release 21.3 as soon as it is released. A script that does everything is not really what we want to test, but I assume it is easy enough to separate your script into the separate steps of patching the source, and building Emacs using the standard "configure", "make", "make install" sequence. The latter is most interesting, as we have to expect the odd conflict when writing patches for a moving target such as a live CVS tree.
