Just for the records ;-) :
validity checking on Windows can be done easily without Cygwin, one can use 
xmllint, which is available for some time as target make test_xml.
xmllint and xsltproc are available as binaries....;-)
Installed properly in the phpdoc-tools folder  xmllint and xsltproc work very 
well, so AFAICS for proper validity checking cygwin is no requirement.
