Rather than jumping through hoops to get Cygwin to work, why don't you 
just use one the built-in native facilities on windows?
Windows natively supports message queues, asynchronous IO and probably a 
whole host of other stuff that I don't know about.

You can even access the native Windows functionality while running the 
rest of your app under cygwin.
