Thanks for the post. Some quick comments though.

Although there is nothing really inaccurate about the HowTo it does
imply that --without-x is essential. X windows works fine
as long as you've installed it under cygwin. It also suggests
using CFLAGS=-s to the configure, presumably to strip the binaries.
This should not be required as the latest cygwin distributions
automatically strip
the binaries.

This would indeed work but you might as well apply all the fixes from:
ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/fixes/ which fix this and other
issues.

I don't think anyone has ever reported "the automake version" problem
so I'm unsure what is meant here.
