The SFU setup is already described on the wiki, and SFU installs as a complete package. I just see no reason not to do it if you use tla on windows. Bloated, time consuming -- well, everything on windows is. Once you chose windows, those come for free. But since it keeps tla unix-compatible, that's the way to go. Not to diminish the excellent work of cygwin porters, I think this is where long NT names do come into play and it's cygwin's fault being slow to implement them, so instead of a cygwin port, we need a cygwin's (own) fix.
