Assume Cygwin=unix. In the absence of gcc being passed the "-mno-cygwin"
flag you should expect most source trees to configure themselves for
unix/X.

"No". Distinction needs to be made between "windows libraries" and
"windows dll". No for the former, yes for the latter provided you have a
tool to generate the former for compiler in question. Don't be concerned
with this. All the libraries exist.

Dillo compiles OOTB, or will once you've got enough of its requirements
installed. These are the versions lurking about on my system...
glib-1.2.10
gtk+-1.2.10
gdk-pixbuf-0.10.1
imlib-1.9.10
...iirc dillo only needs the first two. I don't recall gtk having any
xfree issues so we're probably going off-topic. Email if you get really
stuck.
