Sweet, sweet cygwin

Why didn’t I install cygwin ages ago? For some stupid reason I
struggled to set up my own sshd outside of what cygwin would give me
and used the native xemacs rather than cygwin’s (here because I really
couldn’t use cygwin very easily at work) and for over a year have
suffered with not being able to start xemacs in a shell since -nw
support from the native install to putty doesn’t work very
well, though the cygwin binaries work just fine. And it GIVES me
xemacs, ssh, aspell, and all this other cool stuff. And now I’m
typing in xemacs two ssh sessions away - something I doubt I could
have done before. It’s awesome.

    ya, go cygwin
    Right on.

    I think the secret to getting comments to actually work is that they apparently *need* a Title.
