See http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm for details. The vim.exe and gvim.exe which I made that way were _built_ under Cygwin but not for _use_ under Cygwin — they were for use under Windows from a desktop icon or a cmd.exe prompt, and did not use the cygwin1.dll library. Also, Win64 was still a thing of the future at the time. DISCLAIMER: The HowTo page mentioned two paragraphs above is about 1½ years old, and since I have left Windows forever I cannot check if it is still accurate. However, even if it isn't, a "clever user" ought to be able to fill in the gaps.
