Comment(by jdzst):

 Hello,

 I have updated my version of varnish for cygwin. It is based on subversion
 trunk (r5646)

 The new improvements are:
 *  Better compilation of VCL archives (in the past they were compiled
 using objects from varnish compilation directory)
 * Fixed regresion tests: varnishtest program server_thread function in
 vtc_server.c, after "fd = accept(s->sock, addr, &l);" If socket returned
 is wrong, it is not used.
 * Fixed regresion tests: varnishtest program is blocked in some tests.
 Test is executed succesfully  but varnishtest program is blocked when it
 stops server thread, so varnishtest timeouts and FAILS.
   - Server thread is blocked in TCP accept, waiting a request
 (server_thread function in vtc_server.c file) and main varnishtest is
 blocked in pthread_join (server_wait function in vtc_server.c file)
 waiting server thread to end.
   - In linux, pthread_join unblocks thread from its TCP accept but in
 Cygwin it does not.
   - The solution is to send a signal using pthread_kill (only in cygwin).
 The signal unblocks thread from its TCP accept.
   - I have tested varnish cache in cygwin against one apache server and it
 works fine. The patch applied in a Solaris and Linux server works
 properly.

 After this changes, the result of regression test are: 9 tests failed, 202
 tests passed


 Failed tests:

 '''c00005.vtc "Test simple ACL"'''
 error IPv6 [DNS lookup(::): hostname nor servname provided, or not
 known\n]
 CYGWIN does not support IPv6 in Windows XP. Maybe it works in newer
 versions

 '''s00002.vtc "Check grace with sick backends"'''
 "Write failed: Bad file descriptor"
 UNKNOWN ERROR

 '''b00015.vtc "Check synthetic error page caching"  and  v00009.vtc "Test
 round robin director"'''
 bind(): Address already in use  [Assert error in server_start(),
 vtc_server.c line 183: Condition(s->sock >= 0) not true.]
 UNKNOWN ERROR: test server is started two times, the second time it says
 that port it is in use

 '''VMOD regresion tests:  m00000.vtc, m00001.vtc, m00002.vtc, m00003.vtc
 and m00004.vtc'''
 CYGWIN does not find new VMOD shared libraries
 A fix is need in order to load shared libraries of VMOD
