It's built with gcc, just like Cygwin itself and every Cygwin package. 
It is however a mingw application, and does not depend on cygwin1.dll
for obvious reasons.  The build infratructure is the standard autoconf +
automake environemnt.  Instructions for building are in the README file.

I presume because it would take up more screen real-estate (setup used
to be constricted to a very small window before it was resizeable) and
because no one has yet coded it to do that.
