cygport is a packaging tool for cygwin.

Trying to use a native Win32 port of graphviz with cygwin autotools isn't
likely to work well.

Sadly, there isn't a graphviz package in cygwin, although one is available in
the cygwin ports collection [1], which is linked to from graphviz.org's
download page.

This kind of cygwin-specific question is probably better directed at the
cygwin mailing lists in future.
