That sounds good. I already was thinking in that direction. Taking
Cygwin to get a naked POSIX environment and then installing Gentoo
into it. In theory that should work.

But somewhere an interface to the Windows window manager would be
required, to run graphical programs like Eclipse. But let's not lockup
to Java only, take Firefox for example. Does  Cygwin or MinGW give us
this interface to export our graphical components into the Windows
windows?
