Well, I don't think *any* Windows user will want to install cygwin just 
to run a piece of multimedia library. And I don't think you can make 
cygwin transparent in a bigger package. So if I were to do a Windows 
port I would go the Mingw way (ask Mosu about that) or even better the 
MSVC way. I can't see any good reason why it would not compile, if as I 
understand it, GStreamer is just an API and a core library.
