GNU emacs 21.2 ported (alpha) to Cygwin

[Joe Buehler <jbuehler at hekimian dot com>]

Attached is a script that will compile and install GNU emacs 21.2
under Cygwin, into /usr/local/gnu-emacs.  I used the 2.95 gcc compiler
for this.

Put the script and emacs-21.2.tar.gz into the same directory,
run the script and wait for it to finish.  You need "rebase"
in your PATH (see below).

Consider it alpha -- neither telnet nor gnus work for me, so there
are probably socket-related problems.  Emacs -nw doesn't work,
but that looks to be something simple related to terminfo/termcap.

X11 mode seems to work fine for editing, and the shell seems to work OK.

One of the things I had to do was rebase the DLLs that emacs uses.
This was required because emacs wants its heap and data below
address 0x10000000 and automatic dll relocation violates this.  Once
this gets fixed in some of the Cygwin packages, that part of the
script can go away.

I'll submit the patches to FSF for inclusion in future releases of
GNU emacs if no one sends me any improvements in the next few days.

# Automatic rebasing of dlls used by emacs.exe causes problems because

# the way that it represents pointers internally.

# So we make copies of the dlls that collide and rebase them for emacs
# to use.  Once the official copies of these libraries are fixed, this
