* Building `ctags' for MS-Windows with the MinGW port of GCC fails.
This might happen due to a bug in the MinGW header assert.h, which
defines the `assert' macro with a trailing semi-colon. The following
patch to assert.h should solve this:

We still don't know what causes these problems; they are not

* Known problems with the MS-Windows port of Emacs 21.1.
Emacs 21.1 built for MS-Windows doesn't support images, the tool bar,
and tooltips. Support for these will be added in future versions.
There are problems with display if the variable `redisplay-dont-pause'
is set to nil (w32-win.el sets it to t by default, to avoid these
problems). The problems include:
. No redisplay as long as help echo is displayed in the echo area,
e.g. if the mouse is on a mouse-sensitive part of the mode line.
. When mode line is dragged with the mouse, multiple copies of the
mode line are left behind, until the mouse button is released and
the next input event occurs.
. Window contents is not updated when text is selected by dragging
the mouse and the mouse is dragged below the bottom line of the
window. When the mouse button is released, the window display is
correctly updated.
Again, these problems only occur if `redisplay-dont-pause' is nil.
Emacs can sometimes abort when non-ASCII text, possibly with null
characters, is copied and pasted into a buffer.
An inactive cursor remains in an active window after the Windows
Manager driven switch of the focus, until a key is pressed.
* Some accented ISO-8859-1 characters or umlauts are displayed as | or _.

* Interrupting Cygwin port of Bash from Emacs doesn't work.
Cygwin 1.x builds of the ported Bash cannot be interrupted from the
MS-Windows version of Emacs. This is due to some change in the Bash
port or in the Cygwin library which apparently make Bash ignore the
keyboard interrupt event sent by Emacs to Bash. (Older Cygwin ports
of Bash, up to b20.1, did receive SIGINT from Emacs.)
* The W3 package (either from from the CVS sources or the last
release) currently (2000-12-14) doesn't run properly with Emacs 21 and
needs work. This patch is reported to make w3-4.0pre.46 work:
