=== Installing Cygwin ===
# Download [http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe Cygwin]. Once it's done, run the installer. Set the Install Directory to C:\Cygwin, or what ever your root drive path is. 
# When prompted for a server, select anyone, they all have the same packages, but I would recommend xmission. 
# Make sure you install the necessary devs libs: 

 GCC 
 Make 
 Git 
 build-essential 
 texinfo 
 Etc.
