Dear Sir,

If it fails to build after you run configure with the 

--enable-cygwin

option (see configure --help), please post the last 10 lines or so
of compiler output, the Cygwin version and the gcc version.

Perhaps someone will be able to deal with it.

Cygwin looks pretty good to me: if I was stuck with an MS Win desktop I
would be using it for the tools (Perl, ssh, bc, not to mention a Unix
window manager, a decent shell, access to CIFS shares) but I haven't
tried to build Nag on it.

MinGw (SourceForge ?) may also be another option for you.

Yours sincerely,
