Hello Stanislav, since when does building PHP on windows require anything of Cygwin? In fact those are two completely different platforms. Not that PHP and re2c wouldn't both support both. However I do not see a reason to require re2c after all when finding a way around the -g switch. That is we would need to make sure that on windows you get a .c that wasn't created with re2c's -g switch in use. Also I am wondering now why cygwin doesn't ship re2c, some time ago they did. Seems like I have to cook a new package fro them.
