Cygwin is always a PITA. Why don't you try some native win32 lisp : sbcl, ccl or personal lispworks ? Together with some native win32 emacs.

Calling cygwin's clisp from window's slime is a PITA. But I find it then easier to link clisp to stuff that has been developed on linux (that involves using cffi for example).
Anyways, I made some modest progress today, but hit another roadblock. I figured that if I call clisp from the windows command prompt as follows:
bash -c clisp
clisp is launched in a proper cygwin environment, and various commands work as expected. In particular (relevant for discussion that follows) all the paths are cygwin paths (meaning the usual unix-like ones, such as /usr, /usr/lib, /home, etc). Dribble works too.
I tried to use the same call with slime by specifying the inferior-lisp-program as
c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe -c clisp
clisp starts OK, but swank breaks with
... ;; Loading file C:\Documents and Settings\977315\My Documents.swank.lisp ... ;; Loaded file C:\Documents and Settings\977315\My Documents.swank.lisp *** - OPEN: Directory #P"C:\DOCUME~1\977315\LOCALS~1\Temp\" does not exist The following restarts are available: ABORT :R1 Abort main loop
But that is not correct. clisp seems to live in the windows world, because all the paths are listed as windows paths. Whereas if I start clisp from a cygwin bash window, or using the command above, clisp uses cygwin's paths.
Confused ...
Any ideas from the slime wizards?

Actually, please disregard my confusion and don't spend any time thinking about it. I think I know what the problem is.
