I recently wrote up a document that walks a Win32 user through the steps 
needed to install Cygwin, GCC, and other utilities used to develop embedded 
software. This may not be appropriate for this list in the strictest sense, 
but I feel that it has some good info for the people who read it. Much of 
the document is actually platform neutral.

I'll be writing a follow up article (hopefully soon) on using these tools 
to develop and deploy a "Hello World" program to an embedded target using 
GCC/GDB.

The article is located at:

Feel free to drop me any comments or critiques.
