[edit] How to use the Windows native emacs on cygwin

I use this script as /usr/bin/emacs:

#!/bin/sh
#$Id$

# get Windows path of user's home directory
HOME=`/usr/bin/cygpath -a -w ~`

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
    # convert cygwin path to Windows path
    winname=`/usr/bin/cygpath -a -w $*`
    /usr/bin/run /cygdrive/c/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe "$winname"
else
    /usr/bin/run /cygdrive/c/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe 
fi

Then my .emacs has the following

;; Windows specific details
(if (getenv "COMSPEC")
      (set-default-font "-outline-MiscFixedSC613-normal-r-normal-normal-12-90-96-96-c-60-iso10646-1")
      (load-library "python-mode")
      (setq auto-mode-alist
	    (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
      (add-to-list 'load-path 
                   "c:/program files/matlab71/java/extern/emacslink/lisp")
)
