I should have added that you should see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README
for more information about that script and the shortcut it creates.

make-emacs-shortcut was in /bin. There was nothing in the .../README about it, though. README talked about a source code compile and install of Emacs.

/bin and /usr/bin are the same (via mount) in Cygwin. If they appear different, then you're looking at them with non-Cygwin tools. And the README for emacs-23.2-1 does talk about make-emacs-shortcut. Under "Usage notes" it says:


 2. The script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut can be used to create a
    shortcut for starting emacs.  As shipped, this shortcut starts
    emacs under X if an X server is running and in a mintty window
    otherwise.  Edit it as desired.

And a little further down it says:

In addition, you will need cygutils in order to run the
make-emacs-shortcut script described above, and you will need mintty
and run2 to use the shortcut it creates.
