Not dead certain what you mean by syntax highlighting in Cygwin; but does
the following help you recover syntax highlighting in vim? It's a standard
vim ini file I must have nicked from somewhere, so it addresses issues
additional to that of highlighting.

The recent installation of vim lacks the default startup file that earlier
versions had. So: place in your home directory (/home/felix/ or whatever) a
file called .vimrc (note the dot) containing

set nocompatible
set backspace=indent,eol,start
set backup
set history=50
set ruler
set background=dark
set showcmd
set incsearch
syntax on
set hlsearch

or, to make it accessible to all users, put these lines in a file called
vimrc (no dot) in the /usr/share/vim/ directory.
