Well I need Cygwin for build environment since mingw/msys package 
doesn't work well with automake/autoconf.

But still is there some special environment vars (like PKG_CONFIG_PATH) 
that I have to set to make things sure..?

And of course I use Cygwin for ssh + xorg connectivity to my Linux 
server...
