We're also planning to drop Support for the 32 bit release of Cygwin in
2022, thus Cygwin 3.4.0 won't come in 32 bit anymore, and the package
maintainers won't have to update 32 bit packages anymore. If you're
still running Cygwin under WOW64, consider to move to 64 bit in the next
couple of months.
Except for my 32-bit Windows 7 (upgraded to 8.1) netbook, the only
reason I still install Cygwin32 in parallel with Cygwin64 is so I can
install the XEmacs packages. Anyone know more about the difficulty in
getting those packages to work on 64-bit? XEmacs from EPEL works fine
on 64-bit Linux, FWIW.
From past attempts, I know it would take far too much time (and Elisp
programming) to get GNU Emacs up to the usability level that I've had
XEmacs at since the '90s.
(w3m-img is another package only available on Cygwin32 that I install,
but I don't use it and am not concerned about that one.)
Thanks,
Dan Harkless
