Running bzfs on WinXP through cygwin?

Possible? Plausible?

My reasons for this are because I only have one working PC at the moment and it is running WinXP. I'd like to be able to run my server from a linux environment, but I can't do that without dual-booting into Linux.

So my question is: Is it possible to compile/run bzfs from within cygwin? If so (I'm pretty sure it is) how well does it run? Any problems?

Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. I just got the idea in my head and I wanted to ask you guys about it before I went home and tried it.

well the build system shoudl now support it, and bzfs dosn't need any of the direct X stuff. you can try.

I've tried cygwin for compiling/running BZFlag, with little success. I don't thinks it's impossible, just hard.

Yeah... I tried it for a little while but got frustrated with it and let it go... I'll just wait until I have another spare machine so I can run linux on it.
