I agree that emacs can be built to use gtk+ instead of Xaw.  The 
workaround you described would then allow that version to be used in 
cygwin.  But the current cygwin emacs-X11 package was compiled to use 
the Xaw toolkit, not gtk+.  Its setup.hint therefore needs to indicate 
that it requires libXaw7.
