I am using MikTeX as well.  I use cygwin make & Makefiles, I build from
an rxvt/bash shell.  I edit using cygwin-XEmacs.  Since I'm on an NTFS
filesystem, I use hardlinks for various stuff -- but current symbolic
links don't work.  It's possible that the new symlink format MAY work --
dunno yet.

I'm also using Pierre Humblet's port of xfig for figures, which works
pretty well.  The only thing that doesn't work there is IMporting GIFs
or EPS files -- integration with netpbm and native-ghostscript doesn't
quite work right.  (I could probably fix the netpbm integration problem
but it isn't that important to me; also ghostscript builds under cygwin,
I've heard, so I *could* do that but haven't bothered to yet.)
