There should be a package in the Cygwin installer under devel named
gcc-mingw.

I believe you might also need some of libpng12-devel, zlib, libiconv, gettext,
and w32api under libs, but I've never actually tried compiling under Cygwin.
I suggest just running configure again until it asks for one of the above,
though that may take a bunch of tries. :)
