Just a note, an really easy way to install MSYS and Git in one stroke
is the msysGit installer:

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

The only unfortunate thing is that it includes the C compiler but not
the C++ compiler, so you have to install that separately.  I suggested
once that they include C++ as well so that it could really be
considered a kind of "development platform", but the response was that
I should feel free to fork it.. ;-)

Sometimes when I just need to test something on Windows I've used
Virtual Box or Qemu.  I think either Virtual Box or VMWare allows you
to route USB devices to the virtual machine.  I imagine performance
wouldn't be great, but it might be worth trying.
