Boost "filesystem" is available on Cygwin, also wstring support.
At least with my GCC 4.3.4 and my Boost 1.43.
I'm only missing the libboost_unit_test_framework.

But isn't this a huge effort, porting all to the Microsoft ecosystem?
Cygwin porting should be much easier now, since UHD does not
force raw ethernet access any more. Raw ethernet is totally
incompatible between Linux and Cygwin, because Cygwin is using
the Microsoft network drivers. Standard UDP/IP traffic can be
implemented in a compatible way between Cygwin and Linux.
Also libusb is available for both (libusb-win32 port).
