[vox-tech] Cygwin vs. MingW?

[Mark K. Kim]

Since Cygwin has been mentioned... I was wondering if someone can explain
the differences between Cygwin and MingW?  Can Cygwin and/or MingW allow
you to compile native Windows apps with windows and everything or does
that require a TK? (like GTK, perhaps?)  Where can I find links to
downloads and add-ons?  Thanks!
