I had 21.2.1 installed and it worked wonderfully. The official Cygwin distribution only keeps the last 2 versions of each package. Your only hope of getting an older one is to find a stale mirror (google for, say, "emacs-21.2-1.tar.bz2" to get the binaries, and "emacs-21.2-1-src.tar.bz2" to get the source) or to find someone who has the tarball in their package cache and is willing to e-mail it to you (FWIW, I don't).
