Chuck & Friends,
Is there a fundemental reason (now) why the xemacs people refuse to merge
their cygwin packages into the official cygwin tree? Seems like this
would be a nice package to have, espcially now that cygwin-xfree has been
merged. Is xemacs one of those packages that could be setup to act like
rxvt, where there is cygwin-console, mingw, and X11 functionality? I
recall you mentioning it as an example in your HFS thread awhile back. If
so I think this package would definitely benifit many in the emacs camp
(unfortunately I am "vi" person myself ;P). Considering the xemacs ppl
aren't on the same page, maybe it is about time we get them on the same
page. I'm sure all that is required is a few friendly inquiries from the
cygwin maintainers... These are just my opinions, and I'm not try to brew
up any trouble, but please feel free to disagree...
Cheers,
Nicholas
