How about code your app to be cross-platform from the very start. :) If
you're coding in C/C++, you might want to check out Qt from Trolltech
(license for the Win32 sdk is expensive, but free for *nix like OS),
WxWindows, Gtk (I believe there's a Win32 port. You can use X servers,
if you want, under Win32), and others.
If scripting language can be used, you might want to consider 'em as
many scripting language (like Perl, Python, Tcl, etc) are
cross-platform, even on Windows. Most of the time, the only problem with
scripting language is the file system structure of the OS (Fat/NTFS
drive/directories vs Unix directories for example) and if you're calling
external programs (especially on *nix platforms).
Anyway, if Cygwin is good enough for your requirements, why not stick
with it.
