I can think of several Cygwin-supported
alternatives/workarounds.
None of them address your question, however.
1. Set the environment variable EDITOR to 'vi'
or 'vim', as suggested by Nicholas Wourms:
$ export EDITOR=vi
$ crontab -e
2. Install 'nano' using 'setup.exe'. nano is
a small emacs-like editor (closer to emacs
than to vi). Then set EDITOR to nano:
$ export EDITOR=nano
$ crontab -e
3. Install 'emacs' using 'setup.exe' and set
EDITOR to 'emacs' or 'emacs -nw':
$ export EDITOR=emacs
$ crontab -e
