I though of using Cygwin, but at the time, I didn't want to have the asle to download everything and set it up.

Normally open source tools suck balls in this department, but Cygwin is very, very nice. The setup program downloads everything automatically and sets it up. If you need to add a package, you just run the setup again and it downloads and sets up all the new stuff. Very easy. Oh, wait, actually... cygwin was written by a company. Must be why it doesn't suck.
I don't know anything about DevCpp. Re visual studio: i'd bet it can call into cygwin if you want to automate. Cygwin uses the ntfs file system, so it's also no problem to have the source files open in VS then go into cygwin and compile then go back into Explorer and drag the executable to your SD card. I'd suggest not trying anything else. Just stick with glibc and gcc.
Good luck with your project, but remember that reading keystrokes is still an unreliable pain in the ass. But maybe you'll figure something out in this department (but it'd probably take a dedicated linux hacker). Keep us updated.
