IIRC, those are for building with mingw to get a native windows
executable. This can work under Cygwin, but you have to ensure that the
path finds the mingw versions of gcc and the gtk libraries etc.. Another
alternative is compiling with mingw under MSYS. Cross compiling with
mingw almost works too.

In Cygwin, the best bet is to try:

./configure .......
make
make install

as usual. This will make a UNIX version PCB which runs under Cygwin
(with cygwin.dll). I think it will use X11 - assuming you have the
Cygwin GTK development libraries installed, so you'll need the Cygwin
(or other) X server running.

Depending on what you have installed, you may need --disable-docs or
--enable-maintainer-mode on the ./configure line.
