No chance for now.  __getline and __getdelim are newlib symbols
which aren't exported by Cygwin so far.  I can add them to the exported
symbols for the next Cygwin release, but please note that these
functions are GNU extensions which are not covered by a standard. 
You're going to write non-portable programs by using it.
