I use aspell <URL: http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ >. I downloaded the
tarball <URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.50.3.tar.gz > and
it compiled OOTB. I added a symbolic link: ispell -> aspell and it 
works perfectly in Emacs (I don't use nano).

Thanks to Joe Buehler for his continuing work on Cygwin Emacs (when

Ehud.
