I gotta disagree with you there. As a small cog in a mind-numbingly large machine, I don't have a choice about using windows. Cygwin is what makes using windows bearable for me. It has its warts, but it is amazingly successful in its goal of providing a *nix/POSIX API. I certainly wouldn't call it "painful".
BTW, I have an unofficial gambit package for cygwin. Point cygwin's setup.exe to http://www.liquid.spod.org/~nthern/cygwin/ I don't have to patch the source, but in order to get shared libraries to work right I hijack gcc with a libtool wrapper script. Gambit compiles OTOB on cygwin, but you get static libs only.
