cross-compiling under cygwin?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i've just had a request from a colleague who wants to do all the
cross-compilation for our 8xx board on a windows box, rather than
linux.

  there was talk of cygwin, and kdevelop as well.  i'm still parsing
the rest of the email but is there a canonical URL that discusses
working in the windows environment?

  i'm just about to head over to denx.de to see what i can find.
thanks for any pointers.
