Class, repeat after me:
	Cygwin is *not* Linux

You cannot use Linux binaries under Cygwin.  You cannot (most of the time)
link with Linux libraries under Cygwin.  Your only solution for pure
Cygwin is to recompile the libraries on Cygwin.  Or you may try your luck
with something like LINE ( http://line.sourceforge.net/ ), but then be
aware that you will be building *Linux* executables.

This is quickly becoming an FAQ...
