Sorry for failing to RTFM, but apparently there is an ImageMagick
package in Cygwin already:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=ImageMagick/ImageMagick-
5.5.7-1&grep=image

So you don't need to compile anything.

Once you have ImageMagick installed, to reduce the size of a jpg file, a
good trick is:

convert -quality 64 foo.jpg foo.jpg

see man convert for other options, to shrink dimensions use -resize.
