A cygwin port can't really be considered a "windows application" since it

There are many good reasons why some people develop on Linux. Porting between Linux and Windows is not trivial.
A better way to run linux programs on borrowed Windows machines might be to 
burn a LiveCD with one's program -- something akin to the Hikarunix CD, which 
tournament organizers could then pop into a computer, boot, and start the 
program.
But you can compile using mingw32 to build native applications. I recently compiled my chess program and it runs fine, at least on recent windows OS versions - of course it is a UCI program which means the GUI is a separate windows program.
