Yes it does, as spamd has to run in its own perl environment and it own
SpamAssassin build under Cygwin, or on any other machine you have handy.
I think I documented what environment variables or option to Makefile.PL
or make test (I forget which) you need to get the spamc tests to use an
external spamd.

The only advantages of using Cygwin are 1) You can do it on localhost
with no need for another machine; and 2) If you are testing the Win32
build you may want to be testing a Cygwin build anyway, so you already
have the Cygwin build of SpamAssassin available.

By the way, once you verify that this works could you update
spamc/README.win to refer to Visual C 2005 Express and its download
location instead of Visual C++ Toolkit 2003?
