It is possible to give related tools a different name on the cygwin platform.
In the kde buildsystem the variable KDE4_KCFGC_EXECUTABLE (located in kdelibs/cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internals.cmake) contains the name of the config compiler. The executable name of the config compiler could be changed in kdelibs\kdecore\kconfig_compiler\CMakeLists.txt by adding an OUTPUT_NAME property. You may file a change request with a patch for those tools on kde-core-devel.
