Sorry for the delay...

I guess so. I based my decision on the following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/rebaseimage.asp
Note I eliminated MIPS support in favor of a larger rebase address
space.

I guess so.

Not unless you supply a patch... :,) However, since the build and
target machines are unlikely to match (from a rebase POV), I don't think
this is a viable approach. IMO, integration with Cygwin's setup.exe is
a better way to go.
