But doesn't that use cygwins SDL library, thus also require a running 
XServer on windows?
I'm unsure about the official status of SDL on Cygwin. Currently, I see 
there are packages named libSDL-devel and libSDL2-devel. I don't know where 
screen output goes with those versions. But it would surely be worth to try. 
Maybe it can be configured at runtime.
In 2008, I was just discovering ARAnyM, and I experienced severe crashes 
when moving XaAES windows with fVDI. It turned out to be an SDL bug 
(something related to memcpy, IIRC). So I rebuilt SDL 1.2 for Cygwin at that 
time, and I never upgraded. That version compiles well on Cygwin, it is 
statically linked, and produces output for standard Windows (no X-Window 
involved). I still compile Hatari with that static SDL from 2008 nowadays, 
and I'm happy with it. I haven't tried to compile ARAnyM for a long time, 
though.
