I didn't know it was a bad idea. I never really installed anything this 
way before. My Linux 'installation skills' are limited to apt (great 
tool!) and rpm.

I followed your advice: cleaned up cygwin then uncompressed gtkmm, 
libsigc++ and the others into /usr/local and then I tried
g++ test.cpp -o test `pkg-config gtkmm-2.0 --cflags --libs`
again. It worked! Thanks so much for your help!

Now I can play around a bit with MinGW. But I'd still appreciate 
MSVC/Intel compatible libraries. John Burris reported that he had MSVC 
project files to succesfully build libsigc++ using Intel under Windows. 
Perhaps similar files could be provided for the other libs?
