Cygwin "supports" MinGW only inasmuch as we provide a gcc that can be
turned into MinGW gcc via -mno-cygwin, that's about it.  Packaging
cross-compiled MinGW flavors of every potential library that someone
might want to use is not in the cards, especially since the vast
majority of libraries in the Cygwin distro have no MinGW version.

If you build a MinGW pdcurses and put it in the -mno-cygwin search
locations (i.e. /usr/lib/mingw, /usr/include/mingw) then it will
probably work fine.
