Re: [Swarm-Support] Must swarm be built directly in its source directory ?

[Joseph Schlecht]

I ran into this same issue a few days ago. I've never used 
cygwin, but in UNIX this indicated that emacs was not 
installed (correctly). Check to see if you have emacs 
installed. The 'missing' is just filled-in (by config scripts)
in place of the missing executable; that is, in place of the 
missing emacs binary (at least this appears to be the case).

[open question]
If emacs is really a build-depends issue, maybe a successful 
configuration should not be possible without it being
successfully located?
