I don't think that the problems I encounter are related to cygwin.
Think of it as just another shell to execute the production scripts.
It's probably simply a broken Visual Studio installation.
Tools like compiler and linker should work the same being called
from bash or python or cmd.exe.

There should be a distinction concerning the target platforms
(like NT386/NT386GNU as it used to be, but we'll rather use more
adequate names). However, this is separate from the production and
regression scripts we use. They may be written in shell or python
or quake or whatever. I've always used the shell framework, so
that's what I use to setup Hudson regression currently.

That's completely OK and a worthwhile task in itself. Unless you
rewrite all the regression scripts in cmd, I cannot really use that
though.
