Are the libmcrypt and libmcrypt-devel packages from the cygwin mirrors
not sufficient?  Just install the two packages using setup.exe.

PHP is somewhat broken, well say cygwin builds are not supported, try:
   --with-mcrypt=shared \
   --enable-mcrypt=shared \
since the mycrypt header is in a default location it should be detected 
by configure automatically, maybe also try --with-mcrypt=/usr.
