I should not have given this URL because Cygwin is _not_ needed to 
compile QEMU. Instead use the following steps (taken from the FFmpeg 
project doc):

* Install the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from 
http://www.mingw.org/. You can find detailed installation instructions 
in the download section and the FAQ.

* Download the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x 
(SDL-devel-1.2.x-mingw32.tar.gz) from http://www.libsdl.org. Unpack it 
in a temporary place, and unpack the archive i386-mingw32msvc.tar.gz in 
the MinGW tool directory. Edit the sdl-config script so that it gives 
the correct SDL directory when invoked.

* Extract the current CVS version of QEMU.

* Start the MSYS shell (file 'msys.bat').

* Change to the QEMU directory and launch './configure' then 'make'. If 
you have problems using SDL, verify that 'sdl-config' can be launched 
from the MSYS command line.
