And by "other", this time I mean "Windows".

Has anyone done something like "Gentoo on mscc+Win32" or "Gentoo on
mingw+Win32"? Portage would kick the pants off of Cygwin's package
management.

Hm. Haven't thought about colinux in a couple years, but it looks like
my initial two issues remain:

1) Won't run on 64-bit Windows.
   http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Q27._Does_coLinux_work_under_64-bit_Windows

2) Has problems with SMP systems.

There is (was?) an official Gentoo on Cygwin mailing list hosted by
gentoo.org but its last message was in 2008, entitled "Unsubscribe"
