I've never used cygwin.  I assume given this comment it can access
windows resources.  I had trouble installing the MSDE module on Linux,
I think because it needed Windows specific packages, so I'm curious as
to if cygwin will do it.  I'll let you know once I've had a chance to
test it out...perhaps not until Monday, but probably before.

Thanks for the help!
