Parrot will build on Cygwin, as long as you configure with:

perl Configure.pl --define-inet_aton

The tests, however, are a different story.  Notably, extend_12 runs away 
and starts hopelessly consuming memory until manually killed.

Here's the testing summary from the end of 'make test':

If there's desire, I'll glady submit the whole output from the tests.
