It appears that the config for without X doesn't work, 
the quick way to get things to work are to
hack the makefile to remove the reference to
povxlib.o from the povray_OBJECTS section
and povxlib.c from povray_SOURCES

then add

#define X_DISPLAY_MISSING 1

to conf.h

which will give you a pure command line version.
That works for compiling the unix version on a Mac,
should work for cygwin too.

the other alternatives are to install a copy of xfree for cygwin :-)
or fix the configure script.
