3 xemacsen for windows

There are at least three versions of xemacs out there for windows: xemacs "cygwin" and xemacs "native" from xemacs.org (I think they differ on how pathnames are represented in C-x C-f and what shell is invoked in M-x shell). Despite it's name xemacs.org "cygwin" appears to use windows native windows.

The thrid is xemacs "cyg-X" from cygwin, which uses cygwin's X to draw the windows, and therefore cannot be straightforwardly launched from the windows start menu (though there probably is a way).

xemacs for windows is stuck at 21.4.13 "rational fortran" 2.5 years old
