I've said it before, an experimental tetex distribution is already
being bundeled with cygwin, including mktextfm, etc.  Last time I
tried it (somewhere last March), mktexftm ran, but didn't succeed.
The tetex distribution had quite some problems, but I hope someone
will look those some time.  Maybe using this tetex could already
improve things.

Similarly, python is included, but it has some severe problems (it
uses windows style paths, for example).
