I would also endorse that option. We are using Apache Haus binaries:

and work fine. You have a normal Apache Web Server under Windows and the "httpd -k install" gives you a nice Apache2.4 Windows service as well. It is better to remove Cygwin's old Apache instance and install something like that until a maintainer takes over Apache again in Cygwin.
