My initial thought is that we should simply consider Cygwin to be just "one more flavor of unix" upon which we have to test. If something breaks in that build, we work around it, just as we would work around other problematic unix flavors such as OpenBSD. Is it safe to guess that you are at least keeping up with the source tree in svn? If not, that would be the first place to start. As the port progresses, I'd be very happy if you could figure out a way to get Citadel and WebCit to be installed as true Windows services. The setup programs already have the ability to offer several different front ends for user dialogs. If you want, we can add a Windows mode for that too.
