Paul, When the linker receives a -lBLAH flag, it looks for a file called libBLAH.a (on Cygwin, also libBLAH.dll.a or BLAH.dll). The Cygwin package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages/> shows that "libuser32" is contained in the w32api package. This means that to compile your program you need to install that package (using Cygwin setup.exe).
