One small correction: Cygwin's current emacs package is 23.3-2. (That's a hyphen before the 2, not a dot.) But emacs will report its version as 23.3.1. The final ".1" has nothing to do with Cygwin's package numbering and should be ignored. If you really want to know what it means, see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00891.html .
