Another method is to run VMWare Player and one of the vmware images
that contains Xastir on Linux.  More reliable long-term than Cygwin
if you've got enough memory and horsepower to run two OS'es at once.

If no, there's always the possibility of piecing together an old PC
out of spare parts and installing Linux.
