The version of the cygwin1.dll that is installed with their development tools is Product Version 1.3.23, Build Date 2003-03-27 18:48. I used this so far on Windows 2000. After installing the development tools on Vista I get the following error message when opening the bash shell of the SDK:

We don't support Altera or any other 3PP <http://cygwin.com/acronyms#3PP> here.

However, yes, Cygwin works on Vista.  If you want answers about how to get
Altera working, however, don't ask us.  Ask Altera.

Duh?
