Intriguing, but I don't think this produces a Cygwin binary.

"Cygwin is a UNIX-like environment for Windows... Mozilla uses a developer set of cygwin packages... These include gawk, make and zip utilities, and optionally cygwin perl. GCC is _not_ used and does not need to be installed."

Note especially the last sentence. I believe this is intended for people who don't want to use the VisualC++ IDE, but I assume that since GCC is not used the VisualC++ compiler is and thus the end result is identical to that built with Visual C++.
Am I misinterpreting that?
