I suggest removing the installed cygwin package and then choosing if
you want to use libusb.git or libusb-pbatard.git, and then build and
install that manually into your cygwin environment:

git clone git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git
cd libusb
./autogen.sh --disable-debug-log && make install

(Replace libusb with libusb-pbatard if you would like to test the
code in Pete's repo, which has many more changes.)

In libusb-pbatard.git, yes. In libusb.git, maybe, maybe not. I think
it would be good if the cygwin package was based on libusb.git, and
now that there is some Windows support it is actually possible. But
note that Pete has many changes which are not included in libusb.git.

However - what to package is of course completely up to the packager!
:) I'd recommend staying close to libusb.git, but on the other hand
it's interesting to get more testing for code in libusb-pbatard.git.
