If you choose to install cygwin-devel in Cygwin Setup, it will install all the 
tools and files needed to develop under Cygwin, as well as rebuild Cygwin itself 
and most of the components and packages.

If you use the provided Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts to run bash under 
mintty, or both under Cygwin/X, you should be able to work as if under any Linux 
or similar distro.

You must have the virtual Cygwin paths 
/home/$USER/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:... first in PATH and similar 
/usr/share/{man,info,awk} /usr/lib/gawk for {MAN,INFO,AWK,AWKLIB}PATH in your 
preferred shell initialization files e.g. in bash $OSTYPE == "cygwin".
