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.

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

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.
