cygwin is best suited for running applications inside its own 
environment.  I tried to answer, as I didn't notice any replies.  I 
don't think anyone has wanted to spend the time trying to divine your 
intentions by reading documentation which you say the author has 
declined to support.  You could be wanting to use ATLAS within cygwin, 
built with cygwin compilers, in which case this list might be of some 
assistance.
Even if you are using non-cygwin compilers, simply using cygwin make 
etc. to run a Makefile, you really should try to set those compilers up 
normally, minimize non-standard path settings, and make any changes you 
require in the Makefile.
