in addition to John's reply, let me mention that

1. I don't remember if berkeley-db is included in the cygwin binary

2. even if it is, the current CVS HEAD has a much improved version:
   <http://www.podval.org/~sds/clisp/impnotes/modules.html#berkeley-db>
   I urge you to get CVS HEAD and build CLISP yourself:
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/clisp co clisp
$ cd clisp
$ ./configure --with-module=berkeley-db --build build-bdb
$ ./build-bdb/clisk -K full
