perhaps the most recent non-cabalized ghc build might be worth a try. I
think darcs still compiles with ghc 6.6, but am not positive., I seem to
remember ghc working on cygwin at some point. I have been in a similar
position in the past actually in the odd place of developing linux/unix
software while sitting at a windows box, and cygwin builds of tools were
more useful in general.
