It occurred to me to mention to the OP that the
mingw package (minimal Gnu for Windows is what I think
it stands for) is a lighter weight version of the gcc
stuff for Windows. It does not try to "fake" a Linux
environment to the extent that cygwin does, so it is
simpler and smaller, as I understand it. (I am less
familiar with mingw than with cygwin.) Still, there
may be something there more suited to your needs.
