I'll just comment that AFAIK no Java VM runs in the cygwin
environment -- all are native Windows apps.  It *might* be
possible to get Jikes RVM to go under cygwin, but last I
checked a piece of linux functionality is missing, namely
the ability to look at and modify the register state saved
in the process of handling a signal.
