That's likely to be very difficult, since the Windows stuff is very
different from the usual configure script.  But do you really need to
have a cygwin build?  I'm always using cygwin on windows, but with a
plain racket build -- and it works fine (except for the usual: cygwin
bein painfully slow compared to linux).
