BTW, I don't necessarily have to use the malloc that comes with

Cygwin's malloc. I haven't done any testing yet to make sure there
are no glitches, but I think it will be OK. Assuming this is the
case, does that simplify dealing with a heap that has two
non-contiguous pieces?
I guess so. Cygwin's malloc obviously uses Cygwin's heap or mmap to get
memory. If it works, I don't see a reason to stick to emacs' own malloc
implementation. Is emacs always using it's own malloc by default, or
is it using it's own malloc only on certain platforms?
