Running Box under Cygwin is more of a Windows hack, rather than true [Windows] platform support. I
understand Cygwin was introduced at all in 0.9, because a Windows port has not been completed. Now
that we have Nick's code, I think we should take advantage of it, and build native Windows with
VS2K5.

What is the state of the native Windows version/build system?
