I don't use Windows myself, but I have recently built FlightGear from CVS under cygwin on someone else's machine (also Nvidia and VIA).
The process was reasonably straightforward, with a little help from Norman and Vivian on the IRC channel. I used gcc-3.3.3 IIRC, although I'm sure Vivian is using 3.4 successfully. The main holdup was OpenAL - in the end, I used a precompiled version from Norman Vine (link was posted to the fg-devel list some time ago - http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/cyg_openAL.tgz) which worked fine.

I'm pretty sure I was using whatever glut is default with cygwin (IIRC, freeglut didn't work). I actually tried updating and building today's CVS just to check, and confirm that it builds and runs fine on cygwin. The only snag was in the "utils" directory, MIDG-II.cxx IIRC. FG itself built and runs fine, I just removed the utils subdirectory from the makefile. Hope that is of some use to you for now - if you need more assistance, I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable Cygwin users will be able to help.
