The page you cited isn't quite correct.  Cygwin 1.7 (note: not 7.1)
includes the unison2.27 and unison2.32 packages.  Those are both text mode
packages.

The -gtk2 packages aren't available in Cygwin, unfortunately.  It's
possible that they might become available in the future.  Also, I see that
version 2.40 is the new beta version, so I'll try to get a new package out
for that soon.

cygwin@cygwin.com is better for this question as it relates to Cygwin.  If
you want to ask the Unison maintainers to correct the description on their
page, you should write to the Unison lists.
