I ever use native Emacs with 'cygwin-mount!!

Because I used to use MS VS toolchain and Cygwin Emacs can't understand
Windows path at all...

See my http://sourceforge.net/u/gavenkoa/dot-emacs/ci/default/tree/.emacs-my

Here some tricks (may be outdated, I sat at Windows host last time 3 year ago)
which integrate native Emacs and Cygwin:
