It occurred to me to mention to the OP that the mingw package (minimal Gnu for Windows is what I think it stands for) is a lighter weight version of the gcc stuff for Windows. It does not try to "fake" a Linux environment to the extent that cygwin does, so it is simpler and smaller, as I understand it. (I am less familiar with mingw than with cygwin.) Still, there may be something there more suited to your needs.
