[CM] Installing CM under Cygwin on Windows XP

[Rick Taube]

Yes, listener.el is meant as a substitute for ilisp. its built on top 
of inf-lisp. It's to be used with a graphic (non-tty) Emacs or Xemacs 
and provides a dedicated Listener frame and a Listener menu for all 
lisp-mode buffer. listener.el gives much better remote evaluation and 
error aborting than inf-lisp. Im making a new version of listener.el 
now -- im testing it in emacs/linux xemacs/windows and 
emacs/xemacs/osx. I spent hours downloading emacs for cygwin only to 
find that it was just the crappy old terminal version! maybe you have 
to congidure x windows in cygwin somehow before it works??
