Did you read the cygwin-apps thread that I pointed you to above?  If you
did, you should have come away from that with the impression that getting
PHP going under Cygwin isn't trivial.  Your best bet may be to just talk
to Max about what he's done already.  Otherwise, you'll want to post
some details of exactly what you see going wrong.  You should follow
the problem reporting guidelines found at the link below if you go
that route.
