The way I did this was

1) Use the Cygwin setup tool to get the Cygwin PostGres source
    this will install itself into /usr/src/postgres-xxx
2) un tar postgis into contrib
3) used these configure args to setup the postgres master makefile correctly
./configure --enable-multibyte --with-CXX --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --
docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version
make
Do not do make install as the supplied Cygwin binary has java support
builtin
which requires a LOT of work
4) cd to contrib/postgis and make and install postgis ala instrucrions in
readme

FWIW
I have temporarily placed at
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/cygwin_postgis.tgz

This was built against a Cygwin Installation built from todays Cygwin CVS
files
but I think that the above method should work just fine with the 1.3.2
distribution

Holler again if this doesn't work for you.
