You can use the offical Bind "binary kit" for windows:

http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/view/?release=9.5.0

It contains the server side of Bind but also the client utilities (dig, 
host, etc.)

You can extract the binaries you interested in and make a personalized 
cygwin package called "bindtools" out of it.

Be careful, the "host.exe" and "dig.exe" need some weird other binaries 
files such as the *.manifest files (i'm speaking of version 9.4.x, i did 
not try 9.5.x yet).

These is the content of my bindtools-9.4.2.tar.bz2 archive:

bin/bindevt.dll
bin/BINDInstall.exe
bin/dig.exe
bin/host.exe
bin/libbind9.dll
bin/libdns.dll
bin/libeay32.dll
bin/libisc.dll
bin/libisccc.dll
bin/libisccfg.dll
bin/liblwres.dll
bin/mfc80.dll
bin/mfc80u.dll
bin/mfcm80.dll
bin/mfcm80u.dll
bin/Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
bin/Microsoft.VC80.MFC.manifest
bin/Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC.manifest
bin/msvcm80.dll
bin/msvcp80.dll
bin/msvcr80.dll
bin/nslookup.exe
