I am offering EMacro as a new Cygwin package.
EMacro is not just another .emacs. It is an easy, autoconfiguring system, which is stable and tested with Cygwin and most systems, for both Emacs & XEmacs.
I am new to Cygwin packaging, however. For Linux-like systems, EMacro installs to /etc/skel, and each existing user can run _setuphome.sh_ to copy EMacro from there to their $HOME directories.
EMacro is already packaged for a few platforms, at http://emacro.sourceforge.net/
Also included is the optional and independent EMacro Libs, which are 3rd party elisp libraries that enhance EMacro and Emacs.
Since EMacro is written in, and runs as, elisp, it does not make sense to build an identical source package.
