Sven, stop spreading FUD ;) Cygwin and MinGW are the tools of choice on Win32 for compiling GIMP. There were separate makefiles for Microsofts Visual C, but building with Cygwin's or MinGW's tools (make, gcc, ld, libtool, ...) isn't supposed to be different from building with the same tools on Unix systems. There may be limitations or bugs, but everything else is the same.
