When I first had to build RPMs I tried to do it with Cygwin as I've 
already had the environment in place, but I'm afraid I never could build 
anything else besides an RPM containing a zero-sized file. So in the end 
I had to build RPMs on Linux. So personally I guess that building RPMs 
on Windows OUTSIDE of Cygwin might be even more complicated, if not 
impossible.
