I too would find having tcpdump available a great asset. I use windump
but it has some failing which irritate me. For example I haven't been
able to get it to display hex and ascii output at the same time as
tcpdump can and which is very useful.
Cheers,
John

If you install winpcap (http://winpcap.polito.it/), you can use windump
(http://windump.polito.it/).
If it is in your PATH while you are running a cygwin shell, you can run
it from there. You can ssh into a system running cygwin's OpenSSH
server and run windump (assuming you installed it on the remote system).
It works just like tcpdump for the most part since it uses tcpdump as
the code-base.
Since Cygwin is just a subsystem and not a virtual machine of any kind,
recompiling libpcap or tcpdump would be sort of pointless.
