? cygwin is still layered overtop of WINE as any other DLL would be. In 
fact, this is a source of some problems between the two (you can't use the 
cygwin fork() in WINE because it writes directly to process memory.

But since you don't use fork() and there aren't any obscure Win32 API 
calls in the code, it will probably work equally well if built with MSVC 
or cygwin (assuming these builds work well on native Windows).
