Notice I said "recommend".

No worries, nothing is dependent on cygwin. But I don't have the patience
to deal with maintaining a batch script. I would rather write it in basic
than have to deal with the frustrations of the different versions of batch.

There are not features that break this, short of letting users run any old
version of ant that they have installed, that is what breaks things.
The scripts probably need to be tuned a little more to complain when the
running env is not correct, but other wise everything is compatible with all
java enabled os's.
