Thanks a lot Jason! That's it!
I thought the applied patch will modify the configure script to make it
cygwin compatible...

In case that someone is interested in how to deal with this:
  apply the patch:
    patch -p0 < php-X-Y/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-4.2.0-1.patch	[2]
  search for libpq.so in the configure script and simply rename it to
libpq.a.

The php-4.2.0-1.patch contains lines that check for libpq.a but they have no
effect on the configure script.

The next hurdle is the mkdll.sh command. I don't know how to add the
dependent pq.dll (/usr/bin) to the following command:
  ../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
    -L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
    /usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll				[8]

It doesn't work that way:
  ../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
    -L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
    /usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll /usr/bin/pq.dll		[8]

Any suggestions?

Andreas
