For me any development is not possible on windows without cygwin, but
that's probably because I'm a Linux person... many Windows developers
don't know what they're missing and seem to do OK without it.

In theory you should be able to compile a working rdiff.exe using Cygwin
by just doing a normal;

  $ ./configure
  $ make all check

However, this will compile using the cygwin gcc and probably produce a
binary that requires the presence of cygwin dll's to work (though I
could be wrong).

The next level of cygwin use is to use it for the configure/make
process, but tell it to use MSVC as the compiler and linker. The file
"configure.msc" is an alternative configure script that did this for the
old MSVC I last used... see README for details

The other alternative is to not use cygwin at all and use a MSVC
project... look in PCbuild for an old version of this.
