I don't know much about writing kernel mode code. MS charges $109 for the IFS SDK, so unless somebody's company sponsored it most people would not have the tools or documentation. I don't know if w32api has reimplemented the required headers and libs to be able to compile such a thing with gcc, and I don't think cygwin would want to accept binaries that require MS tools to build.
