For Cygwin, I think the best thing is to use the version of gnuplot
that is distributed with Cygwin.  It is installed as "gnuplot".  Then
to use it, you should startx first, then run Octave from the xterm
window that startx opens.  That way, gnuplot can open multiple frames
and the figure function will work.
