My only problem is knowing whether to invest my time in 'cygwin' or Linux.
I need to build a customized version, and the new code will be returned to

It depends what you want to achieve. If you want to get a bug fixed
that is not Windows specific, your quickest and easiest route is to
build inside a Linux virtual machine.
Otherwise - you get to try to configure a windows machine with cygwin,
and just the right mix / versions of the compilers etc. and this will
take a man day+ to get right :-) Because it is proprietary OS,
compilers, downloads etc. we can't do ~anything to make that easier for
you (which sucks). Of course, the more people that build on windows, the
better it will become (to some limit caused by the above) - so help
appreciated.
Anyhow - welcome to the project & I look forward to seeing your work /
helping you out with some code pointers.
HTH,
Michael.
