I think you're out of luck. ALSA stands for Advanced *Linux* Sound
Architecture so the chances of getting it to build and run on anything
other than Linux with little effort isn't likely. It's tied to the
Linux kernel, as the above configure message implies. Cygwin is great
but it will never be Linux. ;-)
