I have a good [rough draft] start on very detailed (too detailed?) steps to properly install Cygwin and build the Cog VM on Windows. I just need to add preparing the image for first time use, etc...:
http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindows/BuildCogVMOnWindows/ (I haven't started editing/revising yet). Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM" and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would greatly appreciated it. Although they are subsections, they are fully "unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...
