Wow, rewriting almost the whole GNU toolset? Just for not having to use Cygwin? Sounds like a giant waste of time, TBH.
Like I said most work is already in the libraries themselves, it is now a matter of glueing the parts together. I havent looked at the original source code lately, but once i had a look and to my knowledge it was cryptic c code. If used correctly, c++ can much easier to read just because of the automatic management. At least it makes porting them to other (non unix, non cygwin) platforms more easily.
