If you are the mantainer, do you know the problems that have afflicted the
Emacs-21.2-13/21.3.50-2 users in the last year?

The main problem is that after a 'rebaseall' Emacs hangs. 

The workaround found was that after the rebase one should reinstall the
non rebased version of cygncurses7.dll of the libncurses7 package.

By the Cygwin mantainers it was suggested that the 'Emacs mantainer' had
to rebuild Emacs linking with the new libncurses (8), at least to verify
if this help.

In the meanwhile, why was it not released a CVS build of Emacs (at least
as exp. package, even if in Cygwin distribution there are package in
'curr' section that are taken from CVS, GDB e.g.)?
