OK, I ran this.
I did it from within emacs, which was maybe not bright.
Anyway, I got a couple of glitches in the postinstall:

/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh: line 9: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database: No such
file or directory
/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh: line 10: /usr/bin/update-mime-database: No such
file or directory

Probably nothing.

And now,

(browse-url "file:///C:/cygwin/home/marc/public_html" nil)

opened me an Explorer window, instead of the html page in Firefox...
but:

(browse-url "file:///C:/cygwin/home/marc/public_html/user/index.html" nil)

did it!

Yes, in fact, this looks just right.
Thanks, and congratulations!

Marc
