Thank you for answer Gary :-)
The nedit 5.3 is probably not from cygwin distribution, but I don't know
from where I downloaded it a few years ago. Probably at that time the
nedit was not yet distributed as a cygwin package.
Do you have any idea how I could start running the nedit 5.5 with locale
support, i.e. how to patch/recompile current sources to be linked as in
version 5.3?

For the nedit 5.3 cygcheck says:

$ cygcheck nedit
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\nedit.exe
C:/cygwin/bin/nedit.exe
   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libICE.dll

   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libSM.dll
   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll


For the nedit 5.5 cygcheck says (after about 30sek.):

$ cygcheck nedit55
