Cygwin, ptys, porting Quint to Windows

How can we make Quint work on Windows? Pedro Lucas, QtOctave's
ex-maintainer, glanced over the Quint and rightfully noticed that it's
not going to work on Windows because it's using ptys to do terminal
emulation. I heard that cygwin can provide a compatibility layer that
will let us use ptys on Windows and will not require a substantial
rewrite of the terminal emulation code. Does anyone know more about
this? Can it be done transparently for Windows users who download the
binary?

TIA,
