If You are sure, that You have installed the Xwindow system (and You
will get it after command "startx" in cygwin), try this:

start cygwin and write following commands:

    export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
    XWin -multiwindow  -clipboard &

(Note the caps)
than try to start GRASS

    grass5
    d.mon x0
    tcltkgrass &

I suppose, that You have read the e-mail from Richard Greenwood:
