Not quite sure what you mean by a "package". Nor is it clear whether you intend to install, say, one copy of SciTE + compiler on a centralised server to be accessible to all your students, or whether each student is expected to install a copy of SciTE + compiler on their individual workstation. The first option would be by far the easier - both on yourself and on your students, I imagine! For SciTE itself it is quite straightforward to download and install as per instructions from http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDownload.html (I'm sure even students could manage this ;) ) For gcc one option is, as you say, to install Cygwin (http://cygwin.com) for a complete Linux-like environment, if this is what you want/need. I think Cygwin distribute a gcc 4.x, although it may not be in the "default" setup (I think this is still at 3.4.x). Setting up Cygwin is not wildly difficult, but I'm not sure I'd want to impose this burden on a class-full of students... The other option is to go for Mingw (http://www.mingw.org), a Windows "native" port of gcc. If you don't want/need the full Linux-like environment this is probably the best option... BUT, I don't think there is a 4.x available (yet).
