Sure. It's (pretty simple).

I'll presume that you've already got Cygwin installed and working. If not,
you'll need to do that first. See http://www.cygwin.com . Insight on
windows is built on top of Cygwin.

Once you have your cygwin set up running and you can build simple
hello-world exeuctables, your ready to start building insight. Let's
assume that the sources you got from CVS are in "/home/chb/sources/src".
(It's the "src" directory that you got from cvs.) Then:

$ pwd
/home/chb/sources
$ mkdir cygwin-armelf
$ cd cygwin-armelf
$ ../src/configure --target=arm-elf \
      --prefix=/home/chb/sources/built
[lots of stuff]
$ make all-gdb
[lots of stuff]
$ make install-gdb

When you get here, you will have your insight executable (arm-elf-gdb) in
/home/chb/sources/built/bin.

Take a look at gdb documentation for more information on building.
Insight is basically just a gui. Gdb is the debugger.

Good luck!
