I'd like to use emacs on cygwin. I assume etags is the > right tool for source indexing with emacs. For C++, you will be better off with ebrowse, a program that also comes with Emacs. It understands C++ much better than etags does, and provides similar commands (so you don't lose anything). Check out the Ebrowse manual, which is part of the Emacs distribution, for details.
