I've been using coLinux (www.colinux.org) as a way of running apache and 
php4 under windows.

The good news is that it runs the regular binaries of your distribution 
and behaves in every way almost the same as if it were an independant 
server.

The bad news is you have to go to the trouble of setting up an 
independant "virtual" server and it doesn't integrate with windows like 
cygwin does.

I've now got coLinux sessions smbmounting my windows disks (and vice 
versa) and cygwin X server running in rootless mode (X -multiwindow) so 
I can combine my linux and windows apps nicely.
