The gnu-win32 package led me to Cygnus and was considered in our 
decision to purchase support for the Gnu-Pro tool chain.   I can 
probably  justify purchasing it in the future quite easily.   It does 
provide such a good development environment, even in beta.

Maybe this will help your powers-that-be in their decision to 
formally support your efforts?
