I started working on one a while ago, but it started to take up too much time. In the end i had to
shelve it for a while. I was looking at it recently actually.

There are were few issues with trying to compile with a target path directory of / (root), as
cygwin uses /bin /lib etc for all of its binaries. There were some problems with the import/export
SVN tools as well IIRC.

Its not just git that needs to be added to cygwin, Asciidoc and a few other tools (i have a list
somewhere) would also need to be packaged for cygwin too, because the package system re-builds
their binaries from source for distribution.

Also whoever builds them would also have to make sure they have the time maintain them or they get
dropped.
