We have ported large X apps from Unix / Linux onto Cygwin using a single 
master source set and run on 9x, Xp and W200*. Also the same under 
Microsoft's Services For Unix then using the Cygwin X server again on all 
the windows platforms above. If I remember correctly here were some minor 
code changes but these were trivial and handle with #ifdef .

So just go to it with Cygwin no special tooling required.
