That would be really great! But is it really possible? On the GCC 
homepage they said that GCC is included in Cygwin and other versions (of 
GCC) can be built under cygwin. Does anybody know if cygwin-GCC builds 
native Win32 binaries or only ones that can be executed by cygwin? If it 
builds Win32-binaries we could build GCC under cygwin an then use it 
without cygwin.
