I think you'll have to use MozillaBuild 
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites 
instead of cygwin to build nspr and nss.  You can also use MozillaBuild 
to build mozldap.  MozillaBuild 1.3 had a bug - it is supposed to 
translate argument switches from unix style to windows style - e.g. if 
you say

cl -I/path/to/something

it is supposed to convert the -I to /I to pass to cl.exe.  This does not 
work with -L - it does not translate this to /LIBPATH: - So you will 
have to set the LIB environment variable explicitly to the location of 
the nspr and nss libraries.  I don't know if the new MozillaBuild 1.4 
addresses this problem.
