Perhaps it's your only favorite editor but it is not the only editor
in the Unix, Linux, or Cygwin environments, in case anyone gets the
wrong immression. ;-)

If this really is just a packaging issue, you may have better luck
reporting it to the cygwin-apps list (where packaging issues are on-
topic).  Jari has responded to things there of-late.  Of course, if
you're desperate for a newer 'joe' and aren't going to build it yourself,
you can take advantage of the version packaged and announced here:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00001.html>

Of course, if you go this route, you can't come back to this list with
your "whining" if something doesn't work.  Perhaps it's a small price
to pay. ;-)
