The cygwin ports and fpTeX are two distributions for win32 which are
close to teTeX and largely compatible, too. Since the stable teTeX release
was not updated for quite some time now, both win32 ports use newer
sources in some places.

fpTeX has native ports of scripts the origin by me (e.g. fmtutil) and
there was some coordination of development in the past. So, I'd say that
fpTeX is the "official" win32 port of teTeX. The cygwin port is more or
less directly based on web2c (without some "teTeX"-addons).
