Like all software, Cygwin is in a state of constant change and 
improvement.  Given the very general hint as to your intended use of
Cygwin, it should work for you just fine.  I'd suggest installing Cygwin 
and setting up a few tests that mimic how you plan to use it.  This 
should tell you most directly whether you'll have any major problems
with your intended use.
