I was looking at the FAQ and realized some questions need an update.
I plan to do this. However, some of them I don't have the knowledge
to frame a correct updated answer. One I particularly noticed was:

>Is there a Cygwin port of GNU Emacs?
>
>No. If you want NT Emacs to understand Cygwin paths, get cygwin-mount.el from
>http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/index.html.
>
>If you want to run "emacs -nw", say from a remote login shell, you can't. (The
>error is "emacs: standard input is not a tty".) Instead, use a Cygwin version 
>of XEmacs, from http://www.xemacs.org/. Using "xemacs -nw" from a remote shell

>works fine. 

To be exact, I know that there is now a Cygwin version of GNU Emacs, that
XEmacs does not have a (setup.exe) Cygwin package, and that those URLs work.
However, I don't the status of GNU Emacs or NT Emacs in a remote login shell.
