1) Why not *try* running cygwin under Wine? The only way to know for sure
is to actually try it anyway. You can't rely on anecdotal evidence.
2) Please don't use this list as a fact gathering mechanism for your internal
requirements.

3) As Larry noted, you could use a cross-compiler. I know that you maintain
that you would do testing under Wine but it seems rather foolhardy to
do all of your testing on an emaulator rather than a real Windows system.
I don't think your customers would be pleased if Wine somehow masked a
problem that only manifested on, say, Windows Server 2003.
