Sorry for failing to RTFM, but apparently there is an ImageMagick package in Cygwin already:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=ImageMagick/ImageMagick- 5.5.7-1&grep=image So you don't need to compile anything. Once you have ImageMagick installed, to reduce the size of a jpg file, a good trick is: convert -quality 64 foo.jpg foo.jpg see man convert for other options, to shrink dimensions use -resize.
