Unfortunately it isn't (just) a packaging matter.  Getting xemacs to
compile for 64-bit cygwin requires real work.  I started a thread on
this on xemacs-beta [1], but it has stalled for the time being.

Sorry!

I ended up doing a minimal 32-bit cygwin install alongside my 64-bit
one so that I could run xemacs. . .
