If you are using 'bash' as your shell, then something like

  export CFLAGS=-I/cygwin/usr/include
  ./configure
  make

should help you get further. If you find that you need libraries, then
you may need to add

  export LDFLAGS=-L/cygwin/usr/lib

or something similar to find your cygwin libraries as well.
