That's because C and C++ are two different languages that use different
linkage conventions. cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path is exported as a
"C" function from Cygwin DLL and you need to prototype it such when using
it in C++ code. 

  extern "C" void 
  cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path (const char *path, char *win32_path);

and you're all set. Also note that all the cygwin32_* functions have
been renamed cygwin_*, although b20.1 still supports the old names.

-lcygwin is not needed since gcc/c++/g77/etc all add that automatically.
Doesn't hurt however.
