Is our use of Cygwin to build & run OpenOCD a good one?

Thank you to everyone who has replied to my question whether this was a 
good use case for Cygwin!  It was great to read all of the replies and 
see that I'm in sync with this project & its users / developers.

As others have basically stated, it's like a Windows 10 Swiss Army knife 
- pull it out of your pocket when needed and get the job done without a 
hassle.
