Hi Mike, That sounds great. The real expert on the x86 boot sequence is Gabe Black; he still responds occasionally on the list, but he's at Google now and isn't as involved with gem5 as he used to be.
I did the cygwin port long long ago, and abandoned it nearly as long ago; it never really worked that well, and I find it easier just to use Linux in a VM if I really want to run gem5 on a Windows machine. I'd hope that getting to run gem5 on Windows would be orthogonal to getting Windows to run on gem5 :).
