Hi there, the Makefile.PL incorrectly is unable to find gcc-4 on cygwin:

  Config.pm indicates that your version of Perl was built with this C compiler:

      gcc-4

  I cannot locate this compiler on your system.

This  patch fixes it:

--- a/C/Makefile.PL
+++ b/C/Makefile.PL
@@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ use File::Spec;

  my ($cc, $exe) = @Config{'cc', '_exe'};
  $cc =~ s/\s+-.+$//; #remove possible trailing options
+$exe = '' if $^O eq 'cygwin';

  my $found = 0;
  my $delim = $Config::Config{path_sep};

LGTM
