They could well be using cygwin for the compilers; they charge
enough that the licensing fee for cygwin is peanuts, I bet.
But what's wrong with using Cygwin?
Answering my own question, it's a bit of a challenge to use
cygwin in an installed package because there are fairly
frequent incompatibilities introduced in the cgywin dll,
so if the user installs a newer or older version than you
expect, your installed package won't work. It's rather
maddening. And it seems there's no way to 'embed' cygwin
in such a way that it uses a private copy of the cygwin dll.
