Note, however, that Cygwin is Unix (even if "hosted" on top of
Windows). That some software is portable to Cygwin doesn't really
say anything about its portability to Windows.

From what I read on the wiki, building LibreOffice on Windows requires
Cygwin anyway; and AFAIK, cygwin creates real Windows PE/COFF
executables and libraries, no? As this is C code and not C++ code
(where the ABI is compiler-dependent...), does it matter?
