Hi Lawrence,

Here is my 2c worth:

It should be theoretically possible to run heartbeat on Windows.
But to my knowledge no one has done this in the past.
The heartbeat code is reasonably portable (between different
Unix-like operating systems) but it is likely that
you will need to do quite a lot of work to get it to
compile and work correctly on Windows.

I have no experince with using cygwin so I can't comment
any further than that.

I would suggest redirecting this question to the linux-ha or
linux-ha-dev mailing lists (see www.linux-ha.org)
which are the best places for heartbeat related questions.
