Just out of curiousity --- has anyone ever considered a Linux distribution
which would bootstrap off of an installed copy of Cygwin and share files?

I'm trying to get Linux running on a Fujitsu pen slate now, and it'd be pretty
cool if when I do it already had everything I'm already using Cygwin for....
