Still, his last ChangeLog entry in the Emacs CVS dates back to April
2004. If the Cygwin port is still in good shape, it's probably by
sheer luck (or by work of others).

You can have the same with GnuWin32.

This is supported in the CVS NTEmacs code for a very long time (before
the Cygwin support became part of the CVS).
So I think now Cygwin and NTEmacs basically work equally well, and the
choice depends on whether one wants a native Windows Emacs or a
Posix-compliant Emacs.
