Taylor UUCP builds out of the box on Cygwin:
$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/uucp/uucp-1.07.tar.gz
$ tar xf uucp-1.07.tar.gz
$ cd uucp-1.07
$ configure && make -j11
$ ./cu --version
cu (Taylor UUCP) 1.07

When searching on the Cygwin package search page, adding .exe to executables narrows the results considerably.
As it happens, there is a Cygwin package shipping *cu.exe, but it is not the cu(1) you are looking for. Move along.
Adding a leading slash fixes that:
Found 0 matches for /cu.exe
If you were searching elsewhere (e.g. Google) then, yes, âcuâ is a bad search term. But if you knew that cu comes from the UUCP package, âcu uucpâ leads you right to Taylor UUCP.
See, I *knew* there was a reason I was spending my days on amber VT220s hacking Unix back when I could have been out making Vitamin D!
