Then - how about providing Sniff+ support out of Cygwin (thus elliminating
need of MKS use) ?

We really don't want to go down the road of trying to figure out how to
integrate a competing product's shell with cygwin.
If you are talking about using pdksh, then, if you already have a
cross-compilation environment set up you should simply try it and
report problems.

I am not familiar with Sniff+. I assume it's a free software
application or you wouldn't be suggesting this. I think you should
surely go for it if you need this functionality. You don't need
anyone's permission to add a package to the distribution:
