What is this library needed for?  I don't think using interval code is 
used much these days already and needs for multiprecision interval 
computations are even more rare.  The only two packages I know of that 
(optionally, I think) use this library are not available on Cygwin anyway.

I haven't looked at the sources, but if it really needs that cpdirs you 
have in your cygport file then I'd rather not deal with it until they 
fix their stuff to build cleanly out-of-tree.  Although the YACP mpfi 
package definition seems to indicate that this is maybe not necessary.
