It means that hitting C-c for anything but simple scenarios does not
interrupt the target process. My case is running java inside a shell script.

It means that each time I install a new version of w32api or the mingw
one's I have to fix XEmacs compilation in some way or other.

That didn't help. My problem is not whether this was a good or bad thing to
do, but rather that it changed again (remember the move to the new headers
etc?)

So what happened to the stable release in between? Was there a 1.2?

I don't want to beta-test cygwin - I just want it to work. That's
fundamentally my issue. I suspect that you disagree with this and I suspect
that people feel the same way about XEmacs, but its my opinion and I'm
entitled to it :)
My top 3 bugs:
- C-c habitually breaks (i.e. does nothing)
- cygwin term does not handle scrollbacks properly (this worked once but
has been broken for ever), do this:
build something to generate lots of output and then hit C-c to interrupt,
scrollback through the screen buffer by dragging the scrollbar with the
mouse or using a mousewheel. Then type - the screen buffer will habitually
not scrollback down to the bottom but instead insert your typing in the
middle of the output.
[I see from trying to reproduce this reliably that it is somewhat random]
- headers moving and/or changing.
