strace can probably help - you can see which system call is hanging, or
maybe looping forever.  There are people here who can help you to interpret
the output.

Should be straightforward to build.  The source package includes a cygport
script, and a couple of small patches (unison2.40-2.40.16-1.src.patch) that
are needed in order for Unison to build in Cygwin.  Also, since OCaml was
upgraded to 3.12.0 in Cygwin, the following additional small patch is
needed or the build will fail.  I'll issue a new release soon that includes
that patch, so people can still build it with OCaml 3.12.0.
