I think the alternatives system should work fine for most users.
The problem you've described occurs only in the following situation:
1. You install both emacs-X11 and emacs-w32.
At the moment emacs-X11 has a higher priority than emacs-w32. All things
considered, giving emacs-w32 priority over emacs-X11 seems to be more generally
useful on Cygwin than the other way around.
It's hard to know what people's preferences will be. I gave emacs-X11
the highest priority for two reasons:
* It's been the only GUI version of emacs on Cygwin for many years, so
making it the default doesn't change what people are used to.
* It's the build you get by default if you don't override it with
configure options.
Maybe I should supply a script that lets users easily change the
priority, something like the scripts set-gcc-default-*.sh that Dave Korn
provided for gcc.
