[Xastir] What's the state of Cygwin these days?

[Tom Russo]

Some time ago, there was a post here that users should hold off updating
Cygwin, because some big change in the Cygwin packages broke a lot of ports.
I haven't updated Cygwin since and am unwilling to be the guinea pig (my 
windows laptop is one I use on search missions, I'm not gonna experiment
on it).

Has anyone here updated Cygwin lately, and does Xastir still compile and link
properly?

If xastir does not *NOT* build properly on a current Cygwin, what type of 
problem is it that is showing up?
