I see three different current tool > packages on w32: GnuWin32, CygWin and MSYS+MinGW. The last one is not a replacement for the other two: it's just a ``solution'' to have a port of Bash and a minimal set of related tools; AFAIK, Make and makeinfo are not part of that set. GnuWin32 and Cygwin are much larger sets of tools. In addition, GnuWin32 doesn't include GCC and Binutils, and MinGW has _only_ those. So I think the right combinations are: GnuWin32+MinGW and Cygwin. The former can be augmented by some port of a Unix shell (I use zsh, FWIW), while the latter comes with a shell. > I am not sure about UnxUtilites, are they maintained?

So I won't recommend its use with a non-Cygwin build of Emacs.
