For a 32 or 64 bits binary package install it with dependencies is probably doable with NIX - and would be useful. I think the build would have to happen cross-platform from Cygwin (correct me here). I think it would be rather difficult to build outside Cygwin - as you need access to a number of GNU tools and there appear to be assumptions about that in the build system. And then a lot of packages will depend on a Unix like environment - Cygwin does handle that nicely. I am also interested - btw - for some biology packages.
