As mentioned before not everything is true, but I must admit that I use your
CygWin compilation for one reason. It not changes enviroment I think. I mean
that I can take it on any disk to anywhere and not worry that I change something
(registers). I mean that console compilation is clean for system and very
helpful for handy distributed rendering :-)

I think WinPov starts somewhat faster if it was already started before,
but the difference is quite marginal and i never came below 3 seconds
here.

The main problem is that it's actually quite a lot slower, therefore a
different solution (like with Gui Extension) would be nice.
