I tried a few variations of this, but didn't get it to work.  Best I
could do was to have a bash window flash up for a bit.

I just tried this.  It works.  Awkward, but it works!!!

- Added this line to /etc/profile (a.k.a. c:/cygnus/etc/profile)
    PATH="$PATH:/cygdrive/c/emacs21.1/bin"

- Click on the Cygnus icon to bring up a bash

- Type runemacs

- Open 2 files which are similar, but not too so.

- M-x ediff-buffers

- It worked!!!

Didn't even try!  It's a last resort.
