I don't want to get into a "my-emacs-is-better" flamewar -- both NTEmacs
and XEmacs are great packages. However, I do want to clear up a
misunderstanding:
Despite the name "XEmacs", the packages built for windows and for cygwin
do NOT require an Xserver. In fact, they don't contain the X code at
all. (You *can* build an X-based XEmacs for cygwin, but the official
package is not built that way).
