Yes, please! That would help a lot. If you've done it with libftdi, then
even the cygwin part should not be too large a problem. (I am perfectly
happy with OS X and linux, but there may be cygwin people out there...)

There are several rather inexpensive FTDI-based dongles available, and
MPSSE is quite standardized when it comes to the pinout. And, what's
best, the same dongles can be used with ARMs and so on (e.g., OpenOCD
supports FT2232).
