Result:

Also not finding libspiro etc. because also only searching
at /lib and /usr/lib ...

libiconv:  a lot of compiling warnings, but linking seems to work
with warning?:
   CCLD     libgunicode.la
libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in
                         x86_64-unknown-cygwin shared libraries

fontforgeexe:
   CCLD     libfontforgeexe.la
now "working" with warnings like this:
*** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive ../Unicode/libgunicode.la.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

but two steps further:
   CC       fontforge-main.o
   CCLD     fontforge.exe
./.libs/libfontforgeexe.a(libfontforgeexe_la-prefs.o): In function `encmatch':
/home/Jacobs/fontforge-2.0.20140101/fontforgeexe/prefs.c:966: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'

... and so on ... long list again ...

cygwin seems not to use apt ... not found ...
but automake and libtools are installed. That they were missing I saw
at the early steps of trying to compile fontforge ;)
