http://www.tug.org/texlive/ seems to support Cygwin directly by its own installer, without going through the Cygwin package management. So it might be worth trying that.

That might be worth a try for me. MiKTeX is set to ask me if I want it to go retrieve an uninstalled package, so I guess TeXLive might do the same thing.

MiKTeX has a portable install that you could put under your contrib, and then call into it with Java. It's download size is 157 megabytes.

But switching from teTex is trivial compared to porting Poly/ML to a native Windows.

You need a big grant from the Templeton Foundation:

<http://www.templeton.org/what-we-fund/core-funding-areas>Spin it that the new action in abstract, non-applied, proof-emphasized mathematics is going to be driven by automated proof checking. That's the way it's gonna be. Research into numerical analysis and numerical solutions consumes much of the resources in mathematics departments; it's part of the PC revolution.

It's a waste of everyone's time for proofs to be "pencil and paper" from beginning to end. Tell the Templeton Foundation that, and you might get a grant, or maybe not.
