I rarely drop into Cygwin to do anything useful. I never use the
Cygwin version of Ruby. I have needed to do some work with Win32OLE in
the past; I'm not sure how well, if at all, the Cygwin version does
that, but the impression that I have is that the integration isn't all
that good. Note that very early versions of the PP installer were
based on Cygwin compiles.
