Perhaps. But when I started compiling my own Emacs I would've been
glad to have a list: "get texinfo from http://here, and make.xe from
http://there, oh, and rm and other common tools from
http://over/there." Adding to the problem is that, if the user
overlooks the "cvs update -kb" bit of information, he's gonna think
his make.exe doesn't work and he's gonna start losing hair really
fast... (Been there, done that, lost the patience.)

Yes, although Cygwin is more for those that want a total Unix
immersion environment in Windows; I wouldn't recommend it for a user
that just wants to compile Emacs (building in Cygwin is more like
building on GNU/Linux than in Windows).

I think there's only one developer and the last update is from 2003;
still, the simple tools (like rm, cp) work for me much better than the
ones in MSYS, for example (I had weird network issues with these).

That is two ;-)

I do the opposite: I have MSYS and MinGW on my path, but I take them
out for building and running Emacs (but I never use shell buffers
inside Emacs).
