emacs on cygwin


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

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.
