A small follow-up, in case anyone is following this.  Since I was using
- --debug-init yesterday, I was always starting Emacs from the command
line in bash.  

Today I started Emacs from a (Windows) desktop shortcut, and it failed.
I tried --debug-init again, and it worked.  After a bit of puzzling, it
was clear: when Emacs is started from bash, HOME is already defined.
When I start it from a shortcut, it is undefined, and so Emacs tries to
read .emacs from C:/.

If you want both capabilities, you need to define HOME in Windows to be
the same as Cygwin defines it.

Just FYI.

Bill
