Apologies for getting involved on this thread when I am quite removed from how things worked, or why. Also... since I've been off Windows for a while, what I did know is mostly gone. I know that the psuedo-terminal issue always plagued the Cygwin install with a non-Cygwin Emacs... this is well documented, if memory serves me, on the Emacs Wiki. As for whether or not W32 works out of the box, the last time I tried, which was about 8 months ago on a client PC, it did.
Sorry I'm not more help.
