Disclaimer: I read in the contribution guidelines, that you do not want contributions to "scripts" ...
Anyway I thought I would add that a windows build does also work without cygwin installed (which is kind of a 'heavy' environment).
I found that an installed GIT is sufficient to build LightTable, since it includes a "bash" shell. Therefore I added inside the build and start scripts the check for the MINGW environment and put another chapter in the documentation for people, that do not want to install cygwin.
