I think if you are familiar with make and gcc (and perhaps autoconf),
MinGW and MSys are the development environment of choice on Windows. You
even get /bin/sh. But the generated program does not depend on any
custom library (like cygwin does). It's even possible to cross compile
from a Linux box (actully powerpc in my case).
Look at http://mingw.sourceforge.net (and there for msys).
