I could provide binaries if that is wanted.
But they do build OTTB i.e.

aclocal
automake -a
autoconf
./configure
make

And All have specific Cygwin Instructions
except for Python and that will change REAL SOON :-)

FWIW
We haven't been providing Cygwin binaries due to the 
ease of compilation and the requirement of also providing 
the Cygwin DLL Source.

Cheers
