does that mean you've sorted out the terminal problem then? (I didn't have
any problems are doing the CYGWIN and TERM stuff)
by the way, if you don't have a /usr/lib (as you mentioned), there's
something very wrong with your installation!
For example, your package list mentions
> libiconv2 1.8-2
> libintl1 0.10.40-1
> libintl2 0.11.5-1
> libncurses5 5.2-1
> libncurses6 5.2-8
> libreadline4 4.1-2
> libreadline5 4.3-2
these should all be in /usr/lib (which is actually the same as /lib due to
your mount points)

note that C-h does work if you launch emacs from an xterm (or use the X
version).
