Building node.js on cygwin (windows)

I could install 0.10.18 on cygwin. "--dest-os=linux" was needed.

curl -O http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.18/node-v0.10.18.tar.gz
tar xvfz node-v0.10.18.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.18/
./configure --dest-os=linux
make
make install

some people have had success building Node.js 0.10.x on MinGW+MSYS.
