that would be nice :)

snailgun depends on fork, unix domain sockets, and passing open file descriptors across sockets. A Windows version would be completely different :-)

appears that it would be useful for cygwin, too [cygwin yields]

cygwin is just a layer on top of Windows. If Windows doesn't support Unix domain sockets, and/or passing of open file descriptors across such a socket (which the error above suggests to be the case), then snailgun won't work in its current form.
