Excellent - by the way, another benefit of using the Cygwin binaries is that they fully support multicore CPUs. The Windows binaries, for lack of a proper license, were built with the Express edition of VisualStudio, and as such do not have multithreading enabled. (That is, if you got your binaries from NITRC; if you built your own with a full VS license, you should be able to get multithreading also, but I am mentioning that just for completeness.)
