But the complaint that I was getting was of the missing _feinitialise(). 
  And, the only thing I did to fix it was install cygwin-1.7.8 dll...

I'm not near that machine now, but I will try what you suggest again 
later.  Perhaps it was 23.3-1 that had the problem, not 23.3-2.  Since 
both emacs' were failing silently, I assumed they both had the problem.

Note that one of the post-install scripts failed with 1.7.9 as well (not 
with 1.7.8), so not really sure what is happening.

More info later,
