Thanks Nathan. I'm not averse to trying MSYS but if possible, I'd prefer to keep Cygwin out of the equation. I tried Cygwin a few years ago and to be fair, I found it pretty good. However, the main support developer was extraordinarily unhelpful and I ended up kicking Cygwin into the long grass. To be absolutely honest, I'd prefer it to stay there!
How do I install GYP? It looks like the kind of thing that should be available in binary form - but all I could find were the source files.
