Sorry, but I don't know.

AFAICT, neither.

See the following:

> and how do I execute '/bin/rebaseall from ash?
Use the following procedure:
1. Stop all Cygwin processes (if necessary)
2. Start cmd (from start/Run...)
3. Start ash (from cmd):
C:\cygwin\bin\ash
4. Execute rebaseall (from ash):
/bin/rebaseall
Note step 3 assumes you installed Cygwin in C:\cygwin -- adjust this
path if necessary.

BTW, why not use the Cygwin XEmacs instead of the Windows one?

You are welcome.
