I would encourage you to do whatever work you can to make the plain
vanilla CVS compile for both Unix and Win32 without one-off tweaks. I for
one *REALLY* want to be able to say Dia has a Win32 port, and it seems to
me Cygwin would be the way to go.
To me this sounds like pure ignorgance. There is a _native_ win32
port of Dia since (dia/ChangeLog) :
2000-02-06 Alexander Larsson <alla lysator liu se>
Win32 port by Hans Breuer <Hans Breuer org>
It is based on (gtk+/ChangeLog.pre-2.0)
1999-03-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml iki fi>
Tor's famous _native_ gtk port. All the souces are
available in gnome cvs.
But feel free to go right ahead to require an *ix emulation
and also an X server to get a restricted version of Dia
to run on win32. Only a real moron may also want to let wine
run on top of the X server running on top of cygwin ...
BTW: one of the FAQs about the gtk win32 port is it it's
integration with cygwin. It simply has none because gtk+ is
ported natively and nowadays glib includes most of the bits
to make it a real cross platform tookit.
Have fun,
