Plenty of people provide free tools without using cygwin. I've even done
it myself.

<sigh> Nice constructive attitude. 

Whether you like it or not, most developers use Windows. **Requiring**
everyone to use cygwin to be able to **use** what looks like becoming
the standard dev tool is going to put people off the platform. Hardly
any of us want to be able to build anything from scratch, we just want
to use stuff. 

No-one has yet answered my question, though, and you should be able to.
Why is cygwin required to **use** prc-tools? Do the tools rely on it
internally?

Cheers,
Jim Cooper
