I'm not particularly experienced at building large packages so I have a 
few questions:

1) Do I just get the source from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/?

2) Are there special cygwin build procedures?  When I typed 'configure' 
(a script that came with emacs), it simply said:
cplager@pointyjr> configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `i686-pc-cygwin' systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

3) When past hurdle #2, how do I force a debug build? (simply
'make DEBUG=yes'?)?

	Thanks for your help,
	  Charles
