Good plan.

I'm not sure I understand. As you might know the buildme.pl is 
cross-platform. On Windows whomever started the work decided to base it 
on cygwin, maybe just for the availability of all the same tools needed. 
Are you using the same Strawberry Perl to run the script as you use for 
LMS? Unless we want to move the 32 bit build to the same architecture 
(getting rid of ActiveState tools), I'd like to keep the current 
pipeline, as otherwise we'd have to tweak it even more to cover the two 
different builds.

But maybe I'm overthinking this, and it actually doesn't really matter 
much whether we use cygwin or the tools you're using. As long as there's 
Perl, rsync and all the other tools, it should probably run just fine in 
both environments? Or are the paths a problem?
