This is very good news.  Thank you for your efforts and your report.

Does none of these packages need any patching?  Have you checked the
resulting PDF output, maybe you want to post example-2.pdf?

Why do you need the --with-kpathsea-include?

This is a problem with Cygwin's flex installation.  It is not
compatible with the g++ Cygwin ships now (lots of GNU/Linux
distributions have (/had) problems with this).  Please mail the cygwin
list: flex-2.5.4a must be patched (both Red Hat and Debian did this for a
while) to produce g++-3.2 compatible code, or be upgraded to 2.5.31 or
newer.

You would not, by any chance, want to become the Cygwin package
maintainer for LilyPond?
