On the subject of a precompiled xastir-cygwin binary, is there such a thing as a static executable for cygwin? I'm still thinking that would be the easiest way to distribute binaries on any platform, if it could be accomplished.
Unfortunately, due to their licensing terms, you can't just distribute the glue parts of Cygwin. So it is impossible to make an EXE file and related DLL's and have them just work.
As an alternative to Cygwin, I've been playing with real systems under the VMWare player but have yet to find a distribution of Linux or BSD that is "lite" enough to have a small footprint but will still compile Xastir and related sub-programs. So I guess that trying to work around the bugs in Cygwin is the only realistic option right now.
