I'm not a Windows user myself but I've recently been testing FG CVS on a box I have access to with Cygwin now and again just to check for build problems, so hopefully I can pass on a few wee notes here that might help.

I'd forget about it, as noted above. So, with glut from the cygwin installer and an OpenAL binary, I think you should be pretty much set; I used plib from CVS, but I think 1.8.4 ought to work. And If you're going to the bother of building FG from source, personally I can't see many reasons to build 0.9.8 - the CVS tree needs testing, particularly on less-used but important platforms like Cygwin. If / when you reach the next sticking point, please ask again here or on the IRC channel.
