Someone needs to take the time and fix the breakage. we should ideally adopt a solution using installshield or some other package that's specifically designed for general installation, not just for cygwin's own purposes. what does gnu emacs do? i thought they had a graphical installer. and surely there must be open source equivalents of installshield by now?
