You still need "extra tools". You still have to install prc-tools and pilrc. But these are now nicely integrated with the modern Cygwin "setup" program thanks to the efforts of John Marshall and Falch.net. In fact, the Cygwin infrastructure is now slightly harder to install for this purpose. There is no longer a monolothic "full.exe" that includes make, gcc, etc. Someone using Cygwin for development must now deliberately choose those extra packages. But it's all quite easy and the prc-tools has excellent Cygwin-specific installation instructions. (Thanks again John.)
