Where is LEIM for cygwin's emacs 21.2?

Wed Aug 5 08:17:00 GMT 2009

Very rarely I need to type one or two japanese characters in my
emacs, and I recall that I did it with LEIM and set-input-method quite
easily. However, in my current installation, emacs says that LEIM
isn't installed.
The cygwin installer says:
 LEIM is part of emacs package now.
The directory where LEIM used to be, /usr/share/21.2/leim/, exists but
is empty, both on my machine and on
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=emacs%2Femacs-21.2-12>.
There's no LEIM at all in
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=emacs-el%2Femacs-el-21.2-12>
but the title says "(including LEIM)".
As a workaround, I fetched emacs-leim from the web, extracted the
tar.bz2 and symlinked the contents to /usr/share/21.2/leim. Now
set-input-method works as expected. But I doubt that this is how it
ought to be.
 * Is there something wrong with my installation (old installation,
 carried over from another machine)?
 * Did I miss to install / re-install an emacs package?
 * Is it a packaging error with cygwin's emacs-el 21.2 package?
 * Would a switch to emacs and emacs-el 23.0.92 be the recommended
 solution (emacs-el 23.0.92 apparently contains LEIM)?
