Subject:	cygwin emacs HOWTO?

Is there a cygwin emacs HOWTO? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer.

Use case: I download/setup cygwin 1.3.13-1, and download/setup
emacs 21.2. I run bash, and (from ~)

 > $ emacs
 > emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.
 > If that is not the actual type of terminal you have,
 > use the Bourne shell command `TERM=... export TERM' (C-shell:
 > `setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type.  It may be necessary
 > to do `unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: `unsetenv TERMINFO') as well.

I get the same message for 'emacs -nw'? What do I need to tell
emacs? or cygwin? or both?

FWIW, I've been running cygwin ~daily for about a year (since
1.3.9), and running GNU emacsen for almost ten years (on various
platforms, lately mostly w2k) (never ran xemacs). I was thrilled
to hear today that there was a cygwin emacs, but I'll be a lot
more thrilled if I can get it to work :-)
