Ok.  Almost there.  The cygwin version of xemacs does not work out of the
box.  I gave up on in and am now trying the standard xemacs download.

xemacs is the default out of the box install
R is the default out of the box install
init.el contains a single line:
(load "C:/Users/eick/Documents/ess/ess-5.14/lisp/ess-site.el")
