building from CVS for Windows

Anyone have guidance on how to set up a CVS dump of QMTest on Windows?

I can get a build under Cygwin, but I can't get a basic 
command.ShellCommandTest or command.ExecTest test to run.  Perhaps this 
is a known issue, given recent discussions about Cygwin.

I tried to do another build in as native a Windows environment as I 
could.  I used a native port of gmake.  I didn't have a native shell to 
run configure, so I used the Cygwin bash shell, which seems to have 
allowed some Cygwin-isms to creep in, such as installing in 
/usr/local/bin.  I can build it but I can't run it:

C:\temp\qmdb>c:\temp\dosqm\qm\qm\test\qmtest.bat gui
c:\Python22\python: can't open file 'C:\progra~1\qmlibqmtestqmtest.py'

C:\temp\qmdb>c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\qmtest gui
c:\Python22\python: can't open file 'C:\progra~1\qmlibqmtestqmtest.py'

I believe the libraries went to C:\cygwin\usr\local\lib.  Would I have 
any more luck if I run configure with a native Windows port of a Unix 
shell?  How do you folks build in Windows?
