I hate to sound patronising but, if you need to ask how to install Cygwin on 
Windows, you really shouldn't bother.  You *will* find it quicker, cheaper, 
easier and less frustrating in the long run just to get a scrap PC and 
install Linux on that.  Especially now there are dedicated distros which 
install Linux and Asterisk ready to go.

What you are wanting to do is, in essence, like teaching a gerbil to bark.  
It's an extraordinary effort to go to when you can get puppies anywhere; and 
at the end of the day, it's still not, and never will be, a proper dog.
