This is due to the various changes related to display handling in
r110444 (cygw32). The specific error is from x-initialize-window-system,
which cannot find a display (don't ask me why getenv DISPLAY doesn't
work here). In the past, frame.el set x-display-name, but it does not do
that any more. Presumably it was doing it for a reason.
The following example frame.el change makes it work again, but someone
should check this area.
