I followed the instructions above and I managed to compile and install
glib2 2.2.1

I needed to change all occurrences of "#ifdef G_PLATFORM_WIN32" in the
source to "#ifdef G_OS_WIN32" to be able to compile roadrunner 0.9.1

The following patch contains the changes:

http://afs.codefactory.se/~jonas/roadrunner/roadrunner-0.9.1-cygwin.diff
(these changes will shortly be added to the cvs repository)

I also had to run this script to regenerate the ./configure script
and to update the libtool version.

http://afs.codefactory.se/~jonas/roadrunner/autogen.sh

After that you should be able to compile the library normally.
Libtool only seems to build a static version of the library,
this requires some more investigation.

I hope this helps
