I don't run on Cygwin so can't answer directly as to whether
anything has changed, but most likely it's Cygwin and/or one of the
packages that has changed, or else you don't have the ImageMagick
library installed, but do have the headers installed.

If you can't get this solved quickly, I'd suggest trying the VMWare
Player/Ubuntu install instead.  That way you can avoid Cygwin
altogether.  Still a free option:

Another method is to install MS Virtual PC (free) and install Linux
inside that, then compile/install Xastir.  If anyone wants to do
this, take notes, and write up a Wiki page for it, we'll get that
added to the Wiki as well.
