- Can it coexist with a full cygwin install (I have cygwin installed
  already) or does it have conflicts with the cygwin1.dll (or other
  things?

- Is it doing something different from cygwin rsync/ssh or is it just
  a nicer/cleaner UI? If so, what is different that makes it work
  better?

Thanks
