Sure.  This should work right now.  The only bits missing are the
autotools magic to do the detection and set up the makefiles
appropriately.  I fear autoconf, I really do...  Does someone with a
more solid handle on these things want to help out? :)

Another option might be for someone to fight through the SDL
installation just once and provide a binary package for cygwin folks
to install.

Dumb question for windows folks: would it not work to simply use the
mingw library?  My understanding is that windows SDL is built entirely
on the Win32 API, and won't conflict with cygwin.dll or the C library.
