Summary: Modify HOWTO setup on Win->CygWin

Initial Comment:
The step-by-step HOWTO set up a Common Lisp IDE,
centering on several modes of Emacs interaction, with
multiple options for CL implementations  on Windows
(and Mac) is excellent.  But I'm hoping to use Lisp and
Emacs as my bridge away from Windows -- how about CygWin?

What I would really like would be a similarly detailed
and keystroke-specific and explicit HOWTO that might
help foster my slow transition to Unix, via the
discipline of first mastering Emacs and Common Lisp in
their preferred POSIX environment.  (Of course I should
just bite the bullet and dive in with Debian, for its
easily apt-getable CL packages, but with a 32 MB
Pentium 100 MHz running Allegro Common Lisp and Emacs,
I question whether any recent Linux could even run what
I need.  Bash is another matter, I know I need to learn
