Somewhere between heaven and hell! I gather actually that this Xygwin environment doesn't do much more than fiddle with some of the path mapping stuff. Certainly no rocket science going on in there - I think the tool providor's desire was to spare their customers from a full cygwin install, and to lock in a "stable" distro to minimise support calls arising from factors outside their control. This is all just my conjecture.
