See README.cygwin in the TORQUE tarball.

All of the clients should work.  In theory pbs_server and pbs_sched will
work too, but I didn't bother testing them.

I was using 2000 when I was testing it.  Turns out that Cygwin handled
everything fine and basicly no changes were made in TORQUE to run uder
Cygwin.
