There are several ncurses packages to choose from, but I finally
figured out that I needed libncurses-devel, so I installed that,
reconfigured and rebuilt vim and voila: color!
It's not as clear to me what I need to resolve these differences:

My Cygwin installation already has
/usr/include/libintl.h
/usr/lib/libintl.a
/usr/lib/libintl.dll.a
/usr/lib/libintl.la
which appear to be what /usr/src/vim-7.0.122-1/src/auto/configure is
looking for, so I don't understand what is missing and therefore
which of the following likely-looking Cygwin packages I should
install:
gettext
gettext-devel
if either. On the other hand, I don't think I ever use any of vim's
internationalization features, so it probably doesn't matter,
especially for the purpose of evaluating this patch. In fact, I
just checked the vims I use on HP-UX, SunOS and Linux and none of
them have +gettext or -lintl.
Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know if I find any issues
with the clipboard.
Regards,
Gary
