In addition to the ones you raised, here are some more off the top of
my head:
* Are there good ports of X toolkits, such as Lesstiff? Windows
users generally expect to get file selection boxes and other
similar dialog widgets, so if the toolkit you use does not include
that, they will probably be unhappy.
* Do the ported toolkits support Windows fonts and/or
Windows-specific encodings (a.k.a. codepages)? If not, we will
need to think how to let users work with Windows locales.
* The shell issue: should the Cygwin port support only Bash, or the
stock Windows shells as well?
* There's also this talk among users of the Cygwin port of XEmacs
about it being very slow, especially in Dired. I don't understand
why would the Cygwin build be slow to the point that it annoys
users, but perhaps we should try to do something about it. For
example, if the reason is that the pipe implementation is slow,
maybe we should use the ls-lisp.el package in the Cygwin port
instead of the external `ls' program.
