you can use the nt-version of emacs. it has syntax highlighting and
indentation that you can endlessly customize, and for building you'd
use makefiles.
but this is *hard* if you're new to emacs: it has a whole different
way of cut&paste (not shift/ctrl+ins/del), and debugging is done in a
command-line fashion (as far as I got to know it). I'm still
struggling with lots of things, and I think you really need to learn
elisp to really get down to using emacs efficiently as an IDE.
(programming in Java is rather comfortable, there is a package called
JDE which makes it easy. however, I don't know of any such packages
for C/C++). 
I think using emacs as an IDE is a playful thing - you have to want to
struggle with all the emacs stuff, and this will mean that it will cut
down on programming efficiency.
