That's easy, I've done this for a while, but it means continued work that only saves ignorant users ONE click (select: lilypond), and bring up a new problem with dependencies: users who update from Cygwin proper every day. Anyone's who feels like it is free to do this. You need some programming experience, bandwidth, and time, for a continued period. You should at least a couple times a week (but preferrably daily) check update and check any new dependencies. FWIW, I do not think there's an easy way out of Cygwin that really helps. I think efforts should be directed elsewhere. > Bottom line, IMO, as long as lilypond is a linux/unix based program, LilyPond will always be a Linux based program, but I think this has absolutely nothing to do with making it feel right on Windows.
