Just for the records ;-) : validity checking on Windows can be done easily without Cygwin, one can use xmllint, which is available for some time as target make test_xml. xmllint and xsltproc are available as binaries....;-) Installed properly in the phpdoc-tools folder xmllint and xsltproc work very well, so AFAICS for proper validity checking cygwin is no requirement.
