Because 'etags' has been removed from the standard Emacs distribution, 
it would be
good for the announcement and the cygwin.readme for Emacs to notify 
users that
they will need to install the (exhuberant) ctags package if they want to 
generate
tag files for Emacs Lisp.  This is a standard, documented feature of 
Emacs so
users should be made aware of why it will not work if they only install 
the base
Cygwin installation plus Emacs.

Alternatively, the 'etags' program could be removed from the ctags package
(which still provides etags via the '-e' command-line option) and 
restored to
the Emacs package.
