Thanks for answering.  But I was had no luck making it work.  I did 
change the line to point to the xemacs executable but it did not help 
(here are some of the outputs: http://pastebin.com/691397).  I tried 
relative and absolute paths, changing working directory, changing case, 
changing from back slashes to forward slashes and back: still no 
progress.  Some people on freenode suggested that it might be a problem 
with cygwin.  Do you have any other  suggestions as to how to make it work?
