It's fairly simple to set up a cygwin repository.

Some interesting cygwin links:
http://cygwin.com/setup.html
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/

You can build for "native WinXX" (without cygwin linkage)
with GCC, but you then need to use one of the GCC compiler
flags (I think it's -mno-cygwin), and maybe you'll have to
use libraries that are not in a.out format but in .obj or
.dll format) or use mingw instead.

I am not familiar with those however.

Regards,

Olivier
