The trouble is though Chris that SA keeps trying to do things like open $HOME/.spamassassin (what's $HOME set to under cygwin?), or open a connection to syslog on localhost (does cygwin redirect syslog stuff to the Event log or something?). I think the problem is not so much that it won't run on Windows, as that it tries to do things which are just not natural acts under windows.
