Dear Conkerors:

For some time (most recently in June) I have been agitating on this
list for someone to make it possible to use
edit-current-field-in-external-editor under Windows XP.  Patience was
counseled.  The other day, however, I was stimulated by a remark by
Axel Beckert to find the following at
http://conkeror.org/ConkerorSpawnHelper:

  Important Note: currently, conkeror-spawn-helper only works on
  unix-like operating systems. We are actively clicking our heels
  wishing for a Windows-using hacker to add Windows support. In the
  meantime, it does work compiled with Cygwin.[...]

Does that mean that, inasmuch as I use Cygwin, I can already implement
this facility?  (Warning: If the answer is yes, I'll be back for more
advice, as the directions on the Web page are recondite for this
Windows-using nonhacker.)

Alternatively, has xulrunner been updated to make it easier, as
mentioned in June?

Thank you for your attention.
