Ranesh,
as Larry suggested, it is better that you really start 
from the documentation:

http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html
http://cygwin.com/docs.html

How to install is here:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html

mtd is present both in the 
cygwin-1.5 and in the cygwin-1.7 (currently beta)

and it seems to work fine:

$ /usr/sbin/mkfs.jffs2.exe -h
mkfs.jffs2: Usage: mkfs.jffs2 [OPTIONS]
Make a JFFS2 file system image from an existing directory tree
[cut]

Regards
Marco
