FYI, I was able to build flpsed just fine.  The actual hard part is
building a X11 fltk.  The Cygwin packaged version uses win32/GDI and the
configure scripts will try to force this if configured under Cygwin so
you have to do some surgery to get a true X11 library.  The steps I used
were roughly:

# uninstall Cygwin fltk package
$ tar jxvf fltk-1.1.6-source.tar.bz2
$ cd fltk-1.1.6
$ CFLAGS="-UWIN32" CXXFLAGS="-UWIN32" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11" \
    ./configure --with-x --enable-cygwin --disable-gl
$ make
# edit fltk-config to get correct library order:

        CFLAGS="-I$includedir/FL/images $CFLAGS"

$ make install
$ cd ..
$ tar zxvf flpsed-0.3.5.tar.gz
$ cd flpsed-0.3.5
$ ./configure
$ make

The result is a working flpsed.

Now take your rude, craptastic attitude towards volunteers that are
trying to help you in their spare time and shove it.
