LexiFi uses omake on Windows and Linux.  It does not depend on Cygwin 
itself, if you are careful enough to not use any Cygwin tool in the 
build rules, of course.  omake actually implements a decent scripting 
language (with built-in versions of some useful tools).

FWIW, we use a tool ( http://www.lexifi.com/csml ) to interact easily 
with the .Net framework, allowing our application to access .Net 
components.  For instance, our Windows GUI is based on .Net Windows 
Forms and we use the .Net driver from Oracle.  (For PostgreSQL, we use 
Markus' ocaml bindings to the native libpq library.)
