Actually, all most of those problems where related to compiling. Since
Cygwin distributes (mainly) binary package, they are not relevant.

Also, most of those problems have been fixed (function name, guile1.6,
etc.). The most important remaning issue is knowing which other
packages are required by TeXmacs, and which conflict with TeXmacs.
Exactly what a package would fix.
