For the directx headers you need to get the following tarball 
http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/contrib/dx7headers.tgz
and extract its contents to cygwin/usr/include
It may also work with the modified header from wine Reimar posted to this list 
earlier.


Check if you installed cvs when you installed cygwin. Then open the cygwin 
bash shell and type

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer co -P main
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co -P ffmpeg

You now have two dirs. ffmpeg and main. Copy the ffmpeg/libavcodec and 
ffmpeg/libavformat dirs to the main dir.
eg
cp -R ffmpeg/libavcodec ffmpeg/libavformat main
then cd main and ./configure

Now configure should print Checking for Directx yes
and you can continue with make
I don't know if the produced binary will be able to encode h264. At least 
decoding should work.
