Dear Hubert,
the problem is that the configure scripts incorrectly looks for
libpcre.so that on cygwin is called differently:

/usr/bin/cygpcre-0.dll

so you need to modify the configure accordingly or
remove the test and leave only the check for "pcre.h"

same for libidn     /usr/bin/cygidn-11.dll

libpq     /usr/bin/cygpq.dll

and so on.
These are upstream bugs in configure, looking for the lib
is wrong as different platforms have different conventions.
They should only look for the header.

libstdc++ is also available on cygwin

$ cygcheck -c -d |grep c++
libstdc++6                     4.5.3-3
libstdc++6-devel               4.5.3-3

please install gcc4-g++ if you want to compile C++


Regards
Marco
