This is a new binary distribution. It does not require Cygwin in any form, as it is built using a native Windows based compiler (Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Express). To use those new binaries, unpack/install them into a directory in your path, and run the hercules executable. That's all
The following "Native Windows" Hercules versions are currently available for download:

For the Cygwin version you can chose versions of Hercules specially optimized for a specific processor. This option is not available for the MS Visual C++ compiler suite, and therefore no CPU optimized versions are available for the MSVC binaries.,
