with the cygwin-1.0CD (and very likely with the latest snapshots, too)
i succeeded with just linking in the DLL in question like that:

probe: probe.c 
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o probe probe.c /cygdrive/d/WINNT/foreign.dll

however, if the functions in the DLL are _stdcall, but they are
exported without the decoration (without ..@nn), you've got to create
an import-library manually.

contact me, if the above gives errors like

  undefined reference to `SomeFunction AT 8'
