Yes, you need to tweak it per the file DOCS/tech/cygwin.txt in the CVS version.  If this file is missing, or you don't understand it, please let me know outside the list and we can discuss.  I am currently trying to re-do this file so it is more user-friendly, as when I originally wrote it I was going towards a more techie oriented feel.

It seems the win32 dll support is not working on cygwin, we are looking into this to see what can be done.  For right now if you have the win32 dlls installed per the linux mplayer docs, you will need to add --disable-win32 to your ./configure options.
