Nvidia's TADP used to ship Cygwin (and mess up an existing Cygwin
installation) to use some basic Unix commands, and the shell.

I think they stopped installing and using Cygwin.  Probably they just
ship the commands, and maybe a shell, ported to native Windows.

The main part of that Android development environment is Eclipse
customized with SDK, NDK, and a few other things.

That answers the "is doable?" question.  With or without Cygwin its
doable, its just the user's preference (a little bit Unix-like, or
not... anyway you'll configure Eclipse one way or another).
