FWIW, we have a minimal cygwin build as part of the usual builds (but
the cygwin installation that it's using is not up-to-date).  IIRC,
last time I tried a cygwin build, things were mostly working fine --
and that was up to getting drscheme running on X.  There was, however,
one issue -- the mzscheme program would keep the cpu spinning at 100%.
IIRC, Matthew said something about the terminal IO implementation in
cygwin that makes this impossible to avoid.

(As for the rest of your post, the lack of `doc' is s problem with the
currently distributed files, which would be fixed soon.  I didn't
encounter any of the other issues, but that was before the v4 switch,
and I didn't use shared libraries.)
