Publisher's description of Cygwin 1.1.8
From Cygnus Solutions:The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Windows 95/98/NT. They run thanks to the Cygwin library, which provides the Unix system calls and environment that these programs expect. With these tools installed, it is possible to write Win32 console or GUI applications that make use of the standard Microsoft Win32 API and/or the Cygwin API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many significant Unix programs without the need for extensive changes to the source code. This includes configuring and building most of the available GNU software, including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves. Even if the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have interest in the many standard Unix utilities provided with the package. They can be used from the base shell (provided) or from the standard Windows command shell.
Development tools included in the full release are binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu, diff, expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb, itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch, tcl, tix, and tk. User tools in the full release are ash, bash, bzip2, diff, fileutils, findutils, gawk, grep, gzip, m4, sed, shellutils, tar, textutils, and time.
Note: Please see the readme file for detailed information and installation instructions.
