Except for my 32-bit Windows 7 (upgraded to 8.1) netbook, the only 
reason I still install Cygwin32 in parallel with Cygwin64 is so I can 
install the XEmacs packages.  Anyone know more about the difficulty in 
getting those packages to work on 64-bit?  XEmacs from EPEL works fine 
on 64-bit Linux, FWIW.

 From past attempts, I know it would take far too much time (and Elisp 
programming) to get GNU Emacs up to the usability level that I've had 
XEmacs at since the '90s.

(w3m-img is another package only available on Cygwin32 that I install, 
but I don't use it and am not concerned about that one.)

Thanks,
Dan Harkless
