I'd gladly accept a pull request with an if statement that identifies running under WSL and adds VBoxManage to PATH, but I would like to keep everything under one working directory (no creating symlinks in ~/bin) and avoid elevating privileges (ask the user to manually install the packages).

Oh, I should mention that sometimes I had to hit <space><enter> when it was asking "Press enter when something is ready". It ignored plain <enter>. Probably some WSL incompatibility.

I have no experience with WSL but I believe Cygwin is more portable and WSL is only available for Windows 10, so I believe I'll stick with Cygwin unless there are other advantages to WSL.

I don't think @bronson is implying to get rid of the Cygwin method, but eventually, WSL will be very mainstream. Just an option to allow easier adoption/use.

Yes, I agree with all those points. If I can find some time to try to get iMessage going again, I'll put together a PR. (won't be the next few weeks tho!)

Closing since this is now a wishlist item.
