That's if you want Vim "for Cygwin". You can also use Cygwin to compile 
("cross-compile", if you want) versions of Vim which don't need Cygwin 
to run, as explained on  my Windows HowTo 
httpp://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm , and those 
versions of Vim don't need any ncurses packages of any kind IIUC.

Best regards,
Tony.
