Yes, I'm used to VM's. This is probably the way I'll end up doing it.  
It's to laborious for me to try to compile all these tools on Cygwin.
In addition, I wouldn't know what would be compatible with what.

In an ideal world, I would have asked to be able to deal with all of them,
but at this point "any one" could also be helpful.

But it would be more interesting to hear why you think all of them are
"doomed"? 

Thanks for taking the time to give a proper answer, I very much appreciate
it. 

Best Wishes,
