I have a patch that runs zookeeper within the master JVM, but I dont think it would entirely solve this for you, because clients use 'localhost' the value we ship with in hbase-default.xml to locate the ZK process. You'd just shift the problem a bit.
How can we make life easier for you cygwin users? Why is there no localhost for you?
