You can use the Cygwin's distributed Emacs (21.2) - just use setup to
download/install it. If you want to compile and install Emacs yourself,
You'll have to get it from CVS (Emacs 22.0.50), this build as is.
To get the CVS emacs do:
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
Then install it as you would do on UNIX, i.e.
configure
make bootstarp
make install
