QMTest doesn't support Cygwin directly.  It's best to use the native 
Windows version on Windows.  It certainly could be made to work with 
Cygwin, but nobody has done that.  The basic change would be to find the 
places that check the operating system in use to see if it is Windows, 
and use and change them to use a function that determines whether or not 
the system is Windows and not Cygwin.  Patches welcome!
