I don't understand the objection to the Cygwin tools. At this point,
it's possible to simply download the latest Cygwin (including gcc, tetex,
XFree86, etc.) and install the latest LyX "out of the box". It compiles,
links, and runs beautifully. I compile it almost every day on Windows.
You also have the added bonus that having Cygwin on a Windows box makes
it infinitely more usable in my not so humble opinion. ;-)
As an example: I have a Windows ME laptop at home that I can rlogin and
ssh into. It runs a web server (Apache, of course) as well. All this, with
the aid of the latest Cygwin tools.
