this works just fine, like on linux:
PATH=/cygdrive/c/gnu/gnuwin32/bin:$PATH emacs -q
moreover,
emacs -q
and moving gnuwin dir to the beginning of exec-path with
(let ((gw "c:/gnu/gnuwin32/bin"))
(setq exec-path (cons gw (delete gw exec-path))))
also works fine.
however, without "-q" I get various errors, mostly
"FIND: Parameter format not correct"
despite exec-paths starting with gnuwin32.
this is obviously my problem now; however, I would appreciate it if
you could help me out.

no, I am merely removing the long directory name from the pasted buffer content.
