Well the user interface, command-prompt is compatible ;-) Also the
basic X11 stuff at the moment.

And it makes it easy to port stuff from one platform to the other.

The least you have to do is to recompile the program, if you are lucky
it works, if not, you have to do some porting.. 

Running it binary, out of the box from the cygwin machine can't be
done today I think. (never say never if anyone have done a solaris
emulator for the PC ;-))
