the following is NOT a showstopper, but I thought I should mention it. 
Recently, XEmacs-NT-cygwin had to make "--rel-alloc=no" the default,
turning off the "relocating malloc" option.  In the past, XEmacs'
configure autodetect failed to find a "relocating malloc" and all was
well.  Recently, "something" changed and XEmacs' configure suddenly
found a "relocating malloc" and configured itself to use it.  But the
"relocating malloc" doesn't work (at least, not the way XEmacs is using
it).

Since XEmacs is gearing up for a 21.4 release within weeks, they just
made "--rel-alloc=no" the default -- forcibly reverting to the old
behavior.  No harm, no foul.

As I said, this is not a showstopper for cygwin-1.3.0 nor for
XEmacs-21.4.
