The problem you had in Windows looks possibly similar to one I have 
occasionally; sometimes the installation just doesn't work on some 
computers, or sometimes it does and doesn't on the same computer.

I would try a few more times to install in Windows, because (as you 
note) it uses an old version of gcc that probably requires no changes to 
your code, whereas Linux installations are likely to require some fixes 
to make new versions of gcc happy.

Try re-installing it on the same machine; just delete the whole 
C:/cygwin directory and try again. If that doesn't work, try some other 
computers. Windows XP is probably more likely to succeed than later 
versions of Windows.
