LessTif is supposed to work under Cygwin-Xfree; no idea if it
qualifies as a ``good'' port---I'll look into that.

Dunno.

What are the issues with supporting Windows shells? PTY problems?

and
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/emacs-devel/2002-February/006131.html>
seem to explain most of the speed difference. Given these two
factors, I doubt ls-lisp.el would be much faster for a Cygwin port of
Emacs than ls would be. The only way to be sure, though, is to do the
port and profile it, of course. I don't think it's a concern for now,
though.
