I'd like to try it again, but weren't ther some fatal problems with
cygwin1.dll being in PATH? I always work either in Cygwin's bash or
just have to have it in PATH, because of the build environment even
being strictly Windows based (case-insensitive and alike) just have to
use sane tooling in its scripts.

Do you still plan to distribute MinGW with it? It's very nice to be
able to track Junio's repo, have own branches and rebuild Git from
time to time. For me, at least.
