Hi Michael,

You can take the sources of whatever unison version you want to match 
the unison on your server, and compile it in cygwin. You can also 
control the version of unison on your server by compiling unison in your 
home directory on the server, and using the '-servercmd' option of 
unison to point your local unison to your unison build on the server.

Alternatively, you can bypass Cygwin altogether by using the Putty 
implementation of SSH instead of the Cygwin OpenSSH. Here are 
instructions how to use unison with Putty: http://www.spurtle.net/unison/
