Absolutely, although the port shares more code with the mingw-64 version than the Linux version (because the assembler and linker are a bit different from the Linux ones). It was rather easy to make the compiler work, but now I'm waiting for Alain Frisch to port FlexDLL. He said it should be easy.

I happen to be the release manager of OCaml, so it's quite easy for me to get patches integrated upstream :-) OTOH I'm really busy now with the next OCaml release, so cygwin will have to wait a little bit.
