Hi Kip,

On the ToolShed download page (Files) there is a zip file with Windows
binaries. So you don't need to compile it yourself if it turns out
difficult.

Unfortunately CygWin64 doesn't turn your Windows machine into a Linux
machine, and I am not sure I even want to know everything that can go
wrong there :)

I suggest you install the customized "Git Bash for Windows" that I
prepared ready-to-go including mercurial and ToolShed. That's the only
thing I personally support to some extent on Windows. It'll probably
give you everything you need. I invested quite some time in preparing
it, without having any use for it myself, exactly so that you guys
don't have to mess around with this. Please let me know if there is
any particular reason you cannot use it.

Thanks for the kind words!
