You could use Cygwin X <http://x.cygwin.com/> as an X terminal to your

I used to use Cygwin X for a long time, because I had some dev tools
that ran only on Windows. I haven't tried it with eCos configtool, but
all apps I have tried (Insight, Kdbg, Firefox, etc.) ran without problems.
The problem with Cygwin is that it is a lot of hassle. Having a
virtual linux box is also a lot of hassle... If coLinux was sharpned
quite a few notches(in terms of beating the crap out of Cygwin w.r.t.
installation), it might be a viable option.
Of course, still best hit is to convince FPGA vendors to start porting
their tools to Linux.
A rather quixotic undertaking! :-)
