I've now sent a patch upstream to fix the browse-url problem.  (I 
decided to do it without implementing w32-shell-execute.)  It may be a 
while before I know whether the patch, or some variant of it, is 
accepted.  This certainly won't happen until after the release of 23.1. 
  So I applied the patch locally and rebuilt the packages (cygwin 1.7 
only).  It works for me, but it would be good if someone else would test 
it also.

Marc, if you want to test it, delete the stuff you added to your .emacs 
and carry out the following steps:

D=http://www.math.cornell.edu/~kbrown/cygwin-1.7
wget -x -nH --cut-dirs=2 \
   ${D}/emacs/emacs-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2 \
   ${D}/emacs/emacs-X11/emacs-X11-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2 \
   ${D}/emacs/emacs-el/emacs-el-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
/etc/preremove/emacs.sh
/etc/preremove/emacs-X11.sh
cd emacs
tar -C/ -xf emacs-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
tar -C/ -xf emacs-X11/emacs-X11-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
tar -C/ -xf emacs-el/emacs-el-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh
/etc/postinstall/emacs-X11.sh

If I haven't made a mistake, browse-url should now work.  If anything 
goes wrong, you can simply use setup-1.7.exe to reinstall emacs.

Ken
