IMHO it would be a retrograde step to make the default Win32 build use Cygwin. While I use cygwin a lot, native tools (python, perl, etc) are much faster, as is MSVC. As long as there is a clear "HOWTO" describing the build process on win32, and availability of the required libraries and DLL's from the ethereal site then I'm not particularly convinced of the need for ethereal to support a cygwin distribution. To that end should we think about creating a win32 "dev" install that does all the work ? I could help out with this.
