Yes, they should work ok, although installation on MinGW is actually 
better documented and tested (see 
gnustep-make/Documentation/README.MinGW). The current cygwin compiler 
may not support ObjC (although I haven't checked lately), but the MinGW 
one does.

I don't know of anything like this. Although someone has compiled 
gnustep-gui on MinGW. It doesn't do anything, of course.

Some people have talked about native Windows port, but no one has 
produced any code yet.
