I think that problem sits in the fact that ROOT relies on shared libraries. Using MSVC++ on Windows platforms is possible to build these without problems. The same is for Linux or other U**x operating systems using GNU C++ or their native compilers. Problem of Cygwin on Windows is that to build the shared libraries on this platform using GNU C++ is not that easy. AFAIK this process is pretty complicated. That's probably the main reason why ROOT is not built on Windows in the environment of Cygwin32. If I am not right correct me, please.
