Right - I forgot about that.

My impression is that the Windows build with Cygwin was a bit hard to 
duplicate. A while back (maybe 2 years) there were discussions on the 
list about the exact set of packages that were needed to build OpenOCD. 
It seemed (at that time) that creating a reproducible windows build 
environment was not so simple. Perhaps MinGW is easier?

If that is no longer true - then there would be no need for this. And it 
may not matter since the C99 issue would be too much work.
