Obviously there is a problem with Perl.  No idea how to solve it,
sorry.  In case you can't generate the `configure` script simply copy
it to your Cygwin environment from, say, your GNU/Linux box.

We don't guarantee that a build directly from the git repository works
on all platforms.  However, the tarball created by `make dist` should
work.

IMHO it's not worth that you examine this in more detail.

No idea.  What exactly are you interested in?
