Our Windows buildbots use msys for gnuisms. The makefiles in the test suite run 
fine with minimal modifications (just the object delete hack Zach put in to use 
del instead of rm; msys make doesn't accept cmd syntax while Cygwin make does). 
Now, that's using clang to build Hexagon binaries, but teaching the makefile to 
use cl syntax shouldn't be too hard. I've seen it done before; same makefile 
for windows and various unix derivatives, detect what OS you were running on 
and set CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS accordingly.
