I am not in front of Windows machine so I need to check later if
nobody beats me to this, but essentially it is the same as on
sane Unix systems.  Cygwin folks did a good job providing
necessary libraries readily available from their Setup.exe.

No; not even autoconf was needed and it installed out of the box
for me (w2k).

make install would install under whereever you call ~/bin in
Cygwin environment, and that is how I have mine.

I do not think of a reason why "make prefix=/usr/local" would
not work but I haven't tried it myself so don't quote me on
this.

You would probably have great pain if on vfat.  It appears to
work Ok on NTFS.  It appears to be quite slow, judging from
the way it runs our standard test suite.
