If you read any ANNOUNCEMENT mail to this list you will see instructions.
In detail look at this email header for "List-Subscribe:"
If you want to search at the web you will find a nice "Mailinglist" link 
at the cygwin.com website. There at the very bottom is a easily 
subscribe to any list you want to.

But you want to subscribe to mingw-users.
See http://www.mingw.org/lists.shtml

These are mingw instructions.
We don't want to help you here.

If you set them in Windows they will be imported into CYGWIN.

Then your bash invocation script does not pick up your Windows 
environment setting set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob
When I do:
   cmd
   set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob
   bash --login -i
   printenv CYGWIN
I see this CYGWIN setting, if my profile does not overwrite it.

to install via setup.exe yes, to build not. cygwin comes with 
precompiled binaries.
