We've done this with simage and Coin by making a compiler wrapper called
wrapmsvc that takes "normal" compiler options in addition to some of our
own options.  It takes some tweaking of configure.in and the Makefile.ams
but turned out to be a very convenient setup once it was up and running.
To see the setup, check for instance out
  ftp://ftp.coin3d.org/pub/coin/src/simage-1.2.2.tar.gz

There are a few items on the TODO-list for the wrapmsvc-program that would
make using it even easier, which is for the wrapper to get hold of the
location of cl.exe independently of what the cygwin shell has in $PATH,
and a couple of other items.
