I observe that I installed and use MiKTeX, which is a native
Windows TeX/LaTeX, but I call it fine from cygwin scripts and
such without difficulty. It was a seamless cutover. (I did it
to have a version more similar to that of some colleagues,
with whom I am working on a book.) So ... I am not sure that
there is any great benefit to a cygwin-specific version.
