Or, you could install MinGW.  Cygwin and MinGW will coexist, side by 
side, without conflict, if you arrange it so only one is in the PATH at 
a time.  It's not impossible to have them both in the PATH, but I've 
come across enough strange behavior that I don't do that anymore.

I posted about how to keep the two separate without making it hard to 
switch between them before here:
