Tim has already successfully (more or less) compiled hyperdoc
using Cygwin. See this thread:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-12/msg00439.html

Although the hyperdoc program was compiled under Cygwin, the
X server part does run as a stand alone windows app called
Xming see:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming
So I don't think Cygwin is actually required for this. Axiom
graphics is a more complex program than hyperdoc but it should
also be possible to run it "native" on Windows this way.
There is obviously a very great demand by Axiom on Windows users
for these missing Axiom features. Anything we could do to solve
this problem would benefit a look of new Axiom users.
