Actually it is the DotGNU Portable.Net interpreter
( well Portable.Net is the name of the C# compiler/VM collection
 which is part of DotGNU )

It is a JIT , though not a native/x86 JIT ... but a bytecode JIT.

2 sure fire ways you can get it .

"stable" release point : http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html 

CVS Head off Savannah : http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu-pnet

cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet login
cvs -z7 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet co treecc
cvs -z7 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet co pnet

and if snapshots.dotgnu.org is functional (it is sometimes down)

CVS Daily Snapshots : http://snapshots.dotgnu.org/dotgnu-pnet/

and if Andrew has compiled a .deb recently , you could get it 
(unofficial of course) off his box . mail him for appropriate entries
to sources.list

> 2. Can i do that in Cygwin?

I had been collating all this stuff when your mail came in ...
Usually you might get an "grep "cygwin" sources" mail (HACKING 
file in source CVS) But not tonight ;-) Coincidence or are you 
just plain lucky ?
