Aldo,
i'm still trying to fool around with cygwin and mingw,
but at first have to build a new mingw-perl 5.6.1, because with this 
it will be much easier. (it can use the msvc headers and libs, and 
not the cygwin/w32api)
but at first I have the solve the current cygwin perl-5.6.1-1 problem with
gdbm.

some notes:
ctl3d.h will not work.
I added a lot of PL_ prefixes so far, but it's still not ready.
gcc is MUCH stricter than cl, it barfs with a lot of errors so far.
and some constants are still not defined in the cygwin w32api.
