Wine compiles in Cygwin, and you can run some of the included
applications! The program loader would need a complete rewrite to work
in Windows and run your apps in Wine rather than Windows itself.

The excuse is that it could run stuff in Windows that Windows doesn't any more.

The real reason, of course, is that it's obviously bad and wrong,
therefore has hack value.
