You don't need Cygwin nor MSYS to compile matreshka. Just two packages make=
 and coreutils (together less then 10 Mb in size, url in the guide). Just i=
nstall these two pieces of software. That's all you need to start compilati=
on.

So, yes - it works on windows without any problem. yes - it works WITHOUT C=
ygwin and MSYS.

What build driver do you prefer? maven, NuGet, chocolately, Web PI or Power=
Shell? ;)

> PS -- I'd much rather not use Cygwin et al; it adds another layer of tool=
s and idiosyncrasies to the environment.

(I tried running it through Borland's make, but no joy -- what else do you =
expect from a tool developed on/with/for C?)
