Cool !
 
FWIW it only took a couple of hours to get Cygwin supported

Hmm...  This code is identical to what we use in FGFS
try changing the gamemode string to
  sprintf( game_mode_str, "width=640 height=480 bpp=32" );
    experiment with the bpp=%d
This should really be a command line option

Hmm..
Works fine on Cygwin
 which is using the same code as you are..
