No I am not using DSP's. I used Makefile.msvc and before that configured 
using configure.js. Here are my steps

In the directory libxslt/win32/   on cygwin

$ cscript configure.js prefix='C:\dev\libxslt'  
include='C:\dev\libxml\include'  lib='C:\dev\libxml\lib'
$ nmake

thats it and then these errors.

Well, if at all the wincrypt.h is corrupt, what could be the possible 
solution?

Appreciate your input, Tim.
