Any reason why this one is preferable windows's default "open".  Is
cygstart a recent addition or is it available even on older
distributions.

ODT files are zip files (can be opened in archive-mode) or they can be
opened in doc-view.

Use of 'system has generally not proved to be problematic in practice.
I think it is possible to accomplish what you want without touch or
modifying that particular line.

It would be a good idea.

But, does the Emacs come from cygwin distribution or is it NT Emacs
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, I am unable to provide concrete feedback.

As sometime user of Cygwin + Windows, I found that Cygwin is a pain and
started using native Windows Emacs and Gnu Win32 libraries.

I have now moved to Debian now.
