You need to ask the GRASS-GIS folks about this. GRASS-GIS
isn't a package distributed by cygwin.com so there's no
"support" for it here. But the GRASS-GIS site seems to have
documentation and mailing lists of it's own. That's the
place to look for these kinds of answers.
See <http://cygwin.com/lists.html> if you need some guidance
on questions handled by the Cygwin lists.
