oops, I guess I forgot to check in some changes for Cygwin-i686.
I will fix them later today. However, please compile NAMD
with Win32-i686-MSVC and with net-win32 of Charm++ (using VC++ instead of
gcc) since I found some tricky things with Cygwin/gcc - one seems to have
to use -fpack-struct gcc compile option to pack structures in order to
generate same structure alignment as Linux gcc.
I have fully tested Win32-i686-MSVC with VC++ and checked in all the
changes for it already several days ago, so it should compile and work out
of cvs server without any change.

I had same problem with Cygwin/GCC3.2. GCC 3.3 links fine with some fixes
in NAMD for compile errors.

I normally don't bother to compile NAMD with tcl and plugins. I only
worry about fftw for my benchmark testing purpose.
I don't have precompiled library for tcl and plugins for cygwin/gcc,
and I don't know how to make them. So I guess I can only compile the VC++
version of NAMD for you (the precompiled tcl, plugins libs are available
online at namd website i think).

Actually I was launching NAMD from the second computer in the nodelist
under cygwin. The cygwin path is "/home/work/", however, as you can
see I still need to map it to the corresponding Win path of
"C:\cygwin\home\work\" even it is on the same machine.
Also remember to deal with firewall if you have it enabled on Linux or
Windows.

No. It can be implemented but not for windows I guess.
