Being able to run an emulation layer like msys/cygwin
In my experience (couple of years worth of different Cygwin versions, all relatively new stuff), the Cygwin kernel emulation stuff is extremely unstable itself.
unstable in the sense that it changes all the time, yes. msys, on the other hand, is working off a frozen snapshot of cygwin from long ago, and never changes. So it's stable in at least that sense. I have no idea how buggy it is. It works well enough to run configure scripts on real windows, though.
There are a couple of other Windows-->Unix emulation kits readily available, so shouldn't be hard to find something that both runs reliably and can make ./configure scripts work...
Oh, really? Got URLs? Have you tried any of them on wine? - Dan
