I know that's its intent. In my experience it doesn't succeed
very well. I've spent years supporting a set of development
tools under both Cygwin and Linux. The Cygwin versions are a
continuous pain for everybody involved.

I have never tried to run my application under Cygwin.
AFAICT, many of the Python packages I use aren't available as
packages for Cygwin, and I don't really want to spend the time
trying to build and maintain them.
My experiences building things from source in Cygwin haven't
been good in the past, and I have zero experience bundling up
Cygwin-hosted applications for delivery.
I have used an application suite under Windows that comprised
Cygwin apps and a bundled Cygwin installation, and it was a
total distaster. Perhaps that was just a singularly bad
example, but it sure made it seem like using Cygwin as a
platform for delivering Windows applications was a bad idea.

I wasn't able to find a copy of Delny and qhull library for
Windows. I did find postings asking where one could be found.
Those postings went unanswered.
