Using Cygwin X as a display for a Linux VM without SSH overhead

This is primarily for my own record and knowledge. If it helps you, great! If it breaks something, don't say I didn't warn you - this is just documentation of what I did to get this to work at the time I wrote this on one particular machine.

Environment

I have a 64-bit cygwin install in c:\cygwin64 (possible in 32-bit too, I just messed up that install and it no longer works, so these were tested on my machine in a 64-bit install). I use my Cygwin setup scripts to simplify this part.
I'm using VirtualBox on Windows 8.1.
- Importantly (at least for VirtualBox), I added a "host-only networking" adapter for communication between the guest (VM) and host machine - this seems to be required.
Totally optional but useful part of my setup: I'm using VBoxHeadlessTray to be able to easily have my virtual machine running without taking

Goals of this tutorial:

deploy a new Rails app with capistrano
make it fast (total process takes less than 5 minutes)
make it simple (no unecessary config)
manual ssh to the server not required

Rails application stack:

nginx
unicorn
postgresql
