Could you please create a bugzilla entry for this ? Right now, I have 
compiled gtkmm-2.2 and 2.3 with mingw32 gcc and with cygwin gcc using the 
-mno-cygwin compiler option (and with --host=i386-pc-mingw32 as an option 
to the configure script) but I'm interested in a full cygwin support (both 
with the X11 and win32 backend). As I don't have the time to compile gtk+ 
(x11 and win32) with cygwin gcc (hence against the cygwin.dll), your help 
is much appreciated.
