build (latest versions of the Cygwin toolkit, at least since v1.3.3,
include the MinGW headers and libraries as an integral part).
+ Other compilers may work, but specific reports from people that have
+ tried suggest that the Intel C compiler (for example) may produce an
+ Emacs executable with strange filename completion behaviour. Unless
+ you would like to assist by finding and fixing the cause of any bugs
+ like this, we recommend the use of the supported compilers mentioned
+ in the previous paragraph.

If you build Emacs on Windows 9X or ME, not on Windows 2000 or
Windows NT, we suggest to install the Cygwin port of Bash.
