Building lilypond on cygwin is not a simple task. I always have to experiment for some time before I can build it along with the doc. However, if you don't want to build the doc, you will have a much easier task.

- some of them can be downloaded from http://anfaenger.de/cygwin, then istalling from directory
- potrace is just to be put in the /bin directory IIRC
- I don't know if the current version of mftrace is repaired now, but it had problems with .exe files, I had to edit ./configure or the makefile - texinfo 4.7 must be compiled and installed via make, and netpbm as well. Texinfo 4.7 has a bug in texi2dvi (it tries to be too smart...), so texi2dvi must be edited to correctly find tex.
- ImageMagick is now released as a cygwin package

I'm not sure if that's all. But you can see that most of the problems are related to doc-building.
