This fails on Windows 11, because two DLLs are missing:
VCRUNTIME140D.dll
ucrtbased.dll

Could you please package these DLLs too?

The workaround is to install Visual Studio 19.

This fails because the script wants cdb.exe (is this WinDBG command
line?). I added a # to that line, and then the script runs.

It would be nice if you could add this to Cygwin cygrunserv to run
msnfs41client run_daemon as Windows service

This fails too, until I figured out that the Linux nfs server needs
the export line "insecure". Could you please fix this?

So after fixing all this, nfs_mount succeeded. HURRAY!!

So, permissions/ownership seems to be an issue, so I created a tmp/
dir, and did a chmod a=3Du tmp, so everyone can r/w to that dir. And
then Windows can even WRITE there.

Quick test, Word and Excel can read and write files.
Moving big and small files works.
Watching videos from NFS filesystem work
Overwriting/replacing files created on Linux fails with a permission
error, which is correct.
clang can compile on the NFS filesystem a hello world application
wget on NFS filesystem works

So far it looks VERY good :)
