In the early days of watir development, we regularly tested it with both Native Windows and Cygwin. If you look at the setup.rb in the unit tests, you will see one small function that ensured that the file:// paths we used in the unit testing framework would be correct in either environment. You can use either the Windows Ruby or the cygwin ruby from within the cygwin environment. It's really just a matter of the path you use to access ruby.exe.
Over time, we may have added a few dependencies on Native Windows in a few of the Watir methods, but if you run the unit tests, they should help you track down any possible problems. Let us know how it works for you. I consider Cygwin a supported environment and am happy to accept bug reports and patches for it if you turn up any issues.
