Cygwin Installer Script

Reason

The reason for Cygwin is to have the same shell scripts for building the C++ targets natively under Windows. The hassle of installing and configuring it made me search for an automated way using a powershell script which also allows updating.

GitHub Repository

The Cygwin-Bin repository contains an installer script which can be executed on the Windows command line.

The repository itself is also the users bin directory containing scripts to start an X-server and otherwise necessary commands for building C++ projects.
