Yes, if you build it yourself, it will "just work".

But some posters on this newsgroup take the position that they (and/or
the users who they either work with in real life or support here by
proxy) either can't or won't build software.

They often also take the view that they can't use Cygwin, since it isn't
"real" Windows.
