Seems like a reasonable solution. You can add a checkbox style parameter to the "Common
Properties Settings" pane that says:
"Enable sensor installation on non-supported platforms"
This is not enabled (i.e. not checked) by default.
Then, the CLI sensor can have a section in its docbook about how to install on CygWin
(involving the checking of this property, then proceeding..)

Hi all,
A quick question about how I should handle hackyInstaller and the
OS-specific sensors.
Currently, hackyInstaller doesn't allow users to install unix/linux
sensors on windows, which is a problem for the people that want to use
Cygwin. Cygwin uses the windows environmental variables, which
unfortunately is the way hackyInstaller determines what OS the user is
running. So I was thinking the way to accomodate the users of Cygwin
is to include a option in hackyInstaller that allows the user to have
all sensors available to install. Currently only sensors that can be
installed on the OS are available.
Can anyone see any problems with this?
Cheers,
