because the people _can't_ use cygwin's perl. There are a lot of
reasons mainly: administrative, perl script incompatibilities and
cygwin.dll incompatibilities (if you use perl from cygwin, it'll need
the correct cygwin.dll. And if a build process uses cygwin tools from,
for example, QNX Momentics it often comes to clashes).

Unfortunately...
