I did the same test a while ago, it works indeed without any
problem. But: it isn't because of me. It's because of Tramp users, who
apply both NTemacs (or nqmacs) together with Cygwin's ssh. And before
I discourage them for this combination, I'ld like to know that it
really doesn't work. See the discussion in
<help-emacs-windows@gnu.org>, where this thread did start.

Thanx for the hint. Unfortunately, it doesn't work either ...
