I think this bug should be closed. Support for mixing a native w32
Emacs with Cygwin external programs is limited where character
encoding is involved because of the limitations of the APIs we use in
Emacs to invoke external programs, and because native w32 bui8lds of
external programs in most cases support only a single system codepage.
So people who want to be able to invoke Cygwin programs from Emacs and
play by Cygwin LANG and locale rules (which emulate quite well the
Posix environment) should use a Cygwin build of Emacs.
