No... MinGW.   This port is a Win32 program, and does not need the
POSIX environment provided by Cygwin.   Plus, as you mentioned, if we
used Cygwin, it'd make it more difficult to make things work in non-cygwin
environments.   (Though, theoretically the -mno-cygwin option would help
with this...  but I'd rather that the emulator not even see all of the
Unix-y stuff like syslogd, curses, etc, since I wanted a true Windows
port)

So, I used MinGW instead of Cygwin.   http://www.mingw.org

Again, I direct you to the README.txt file in the win32 directory.  It
explains what compiler to use and how to get it, install it, use it to
build the emulator, etc.

Thanks for the offer, though I think SourceForge would probably be a
better place...  at least for now...
