Thanks for the praise! Now everyone else can enjoy what I've been beta testing for the last year! I can't take all the credit; Ralf Wildenhues and Paolo Bonzini were also heavy-hitters for this, but between the three of us, we really DID trim off a lot of unnecessary bulk in both size and number of forks. And it just goes to show that cygwin is consistently getting better when one of the primary autoconf developers uses cygwin as his primary development environment, so there is also some thanks to hand to cgf and Corinna for responding to my frequent bug reports. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
