This can be done easily with XEmacs.  You can get an only slightly
stale version (21.4.13) straight out of the box from XEmacs.org [1]
(pick 'native windows').

Or you can compile your own 21.4.17 from source, but this is _not_ a
'straight-out-of-the-box' exercise.  If you try this and have trouble,
I'll try to dig out my config.status and other notes from the last
time I made it all work.  I _think_ the rebase problems (google
cygwin+xemacs+rebase) have disappeared, but I may be wrong.
