Are you unpacking this .tar.bz2 with some kind of non-Cygwin utility
like winzip or winrar?  That will give you a false sense of something
being broken because they don't understand links.  emacs-21.2.exe is a
link in the tarball.  If you view the contents of this tarball with "tar
jtvf" you will see:

 -rwxr-xr-t jhpb/domain users 4350464 2004-03-22 12:59 usr/bin/emacs.exe
hrwxr-xr-t jhpb/domain users       0 2004-03-22 12:59
usr/bin/emacs-21.2.exe link to usr/bin/emacs.exe
hrwxr-xr-t jhpb/domain users       0 2004-03-22 12:59
usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe link to usr/bin/emacs.exe

So this is a red herring.  I just installed the emacs and emacs-X11
21.2-13 packages with setup and both worked fine in console and X11
mode.  I did have to replace cygreadline7.dll with an unrebased one but
that is a known issue.

There's no need to be alarmist, the package is fine.
