You're perfectly right... [I didn't think about it because you're right] to the extent, in fact, that even when THERE IS a program available for "raw" Win32, I usually prefer to use the one available through CygWin (or compile it myself) (at least I don't have to switch a simple "nano ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf" with a complex regedit32.exe session ^_^) Anyway, even if cygwin does its best, some win32 peculiarities aer very difficult to avoid (e.g. fork and pipes are way slower in cygwin, as they need to be emulated from scratch, kinda...). Actually the biggest problem in compiling monotone for cygwin seems to be the lack of Boost::test in cygwin's port of Boost.
