But that is very different from a native Windows port, which was I thought we were talking about. A Cygwin port is a much simpler task. I'm not saying its an easy task, but it's a hell of a lot easier than a native Windows application, like Word, Powerpoint, Mathematica, MATLAB or Maple. I thought that was what you meant by a "native" application. That was why I thought it was going to take many man years. Cygwin seems a vastly inferior environment to VirtualBox. It certainly would not be my choice if I wanted to run Sage under Windows. But perhaps it offers some advantages over VirtualBox, like its more closely linked to Windows.
