Cygwin's emacs is the latest upstream release.  The problem is that the 
current Org distributed with emacs requires the presence of elisp source 
files, which are not installed by default on Cygwin.  Cygwin users of 
the current Org have to install the emacs-el package to get the elisp 
source files.
