For other projects, I find cross-mingw under Linux runs ./configure
and compiles about 10 times faster than Cygwin (for ./configure) +
Mingw (compiler) native on the same machine inside KVM.

I'm not sure if that's KVM being slow at running Windows guest
processes, or if what I've heard about Cygwin being slow to spawn
processes is the reason.

Either way, cross-mingw is great for Windows development :-)

(But not 64-bit yet).
