It would make sense to have one Richard> archive with all of the required libraries for CygWin, Richard> with the appropriate names. But normally that archive _is_ cygwin.com. It has been every time I've installed a Windows XEmacs (which isn't that often). And experience shows that having stale copies of libraries around is a maintenance headache for us and for the library maintainers alike. Richard> I've wasted a lot of time just figuring this stuff Richard> out. We need a decent readme file. I'd be happy to write something for starters---but I'm not a normally a Windows user. I don't know what to put in it unless you tell me URLs and the precise procedures that succeeded for you.
