This is incorrect. It can use cygwin, but works great under mingw, (which 
is really just a compiler and collection of a bunch of headers, which 
generates 100% native windows binaries, with no ugly cygwin DLL runtime 
aftertaste/performance degredation.

The binary GNUstep-base (Foundation) installer at GNUstep.org uses mingw.
