cgywin is dll hell. versioning problems everywhere. until they fix  
this i'll stick to my msys etc.

the learning curve for the svn/cvs tools is insane.

which is why you can quite easily download a compiled zsh.
but this has *nothing to do with cygwin*

at the end of the day:
     cgywin is not native
and just like i refuse to use X11 programs on my mac,
i see anything that isn't natively compiled for windows
as being an unfinished product also.

oh, and bazaar will never be chosen anyways, for various other reasons.
