What you do for entertainment is completely up to you, but I don't see any reason anyone else should be interested. We have a working build setup for Windows using MSYS. It's overly complicated and I can't imagine a reason to make it even more so by introducing Cygwin. Now if you were to write a new build system to get rid of MingGW entirely and use Microsoft's toolchain...
