Many thanks Doug, really nice work !
At least I successfully manage to build rsync with this package :

$ uname -s -r
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 3.1.6(0.340/5/3)

$ ./rsync --version
rsync  version 3.2.3dev  protocol version 31
(...)
Optimizations:
    no SIMD, asm, openssl-crypto
Checksum list:
    xxh64 (xxhash) md5 md4 none
Compress list:
    zstd lz4 zlibx zlib none

Not sure about the other things to check though.

Kind regards,

Ben
