... or one reason _not to use cygwin_ ...
The problem is that cygwin introduces an alien path syntax to windows which
is a bad idea in my opinion.

Unless you have specific needs, you can find most of the Gnu tools from
the gnu-win32 project on SourceForge.

If you need Unix under Windows, use VMWare, at least you'll get the real
thing.

This is only a personal opinion. Best regards,
