You will want to check out my page so that you can simplify your Directory Structure. As for MSVC being useful with cygwin I suppose it's a matter of opinion, however the objects created by the different packages aren't quite compatible yet. So, I don't think it will be too useful. Since you're interested only in programming Win32 then check out the Mingw32 package from Mumit Khan's page and he has some useful documentation that will help.
