I haven't considered it yet, mostly because I don't know my way around
windows. So, if I understand you right, you can use cygwin as a build
platform, but the resulting openvpn.exe will run on machines without
cygwin installed ("as for mingw-built openvpn.exe")?
That would be interesting, given that there seems to doubt regarding the
(long-term) community support behind mingw, and cygwin is traditionally
supported quite well.
And indeed, having all nicely included in the main make file would make
windows building a lot easier.

I like msys/mingw - "bash.exe" :-)
