I routinely build and use Chicken under Cygwin, and it works well.
Note that a default install of Cygwin doesn't give you gcc, so you have
to make sure you have installed it using Cygwin's setup program.

I haven't actually tried to use the scsh-process egg beyond running the
examples on the wiki, but they do work fine.

See <https://wiki.call-cc.org/running-csi-on-cygwin>.

That way lies agony.
