Okay, but this cant explain why cygwin/gcc is so horribly slow
compared to msvc (would make both of them slow).


Cygwin is a POSIX emulation. Some POSIX concepts are *very* different
from Windows. Emulating them takes time and effort.

autoconf alone already is evil enough ;-)


Feel free to waste your time coming up with an equivalent alternative.
