I have just being doing the same thing with current cygwin
and 2.6 vtun. I find the only C file that needs patching is
linkfd.c - all others are fine (no patch required).
I found that the only configure problem was that it didn't
locate 'install' propely.
However, just because it compiles doesn't mean it works.
Vtun relies on a tun/tap device, pipes, and ptys which are
platform dependent and different on Windows. Configure picks
the generic devices for cygwin which are not appropriate.
I have been using the Windows tun/tap driver with OpenVPN
and it appears stable and usable. The other issues are trivial
in comparison.
I am considereing looking at completing and submitting the
cygwin port. Is anyone else interested or working on this?
BTW: I can't get the pre-3.0.0 version to compile on cygwin.

need to retarget for new baseline code, when available.
