Hi Seb:

Well, Cygwin was a nice solution.  But, I think there are better
options today.  You can try, but I don't think there will be ESS
support out-of-the-box or otherwise.  But, it's even worse than that!
As I alluded to, since the configuration files can be blown away when
you switch users, ESS support on Windows 7/8 is already in serious
trouble.  Great care needs to be taken.  As I recall, you need to
install EVERYTHING outside of the Program Files hierarchy.  But, I
could be wrong.  I was so frustrated that I haven't been keeping up
with it.
