I think this is the same thing that came up previously.  There seems to
be some problem using repat with expat under cygwin.  repat has
been removed from the latest Redland sources so it's not a problem
in the CVS/developer version.

You can disable this by using the configure option
--enable-parsers=raptor to enable the raptor RDF parser only.
Then the compiling should get a little further.  Other people have
reported some more problems after that though.
See http://lists.usefulinc.com/pipermail/redland-dev/2003-July/000374.html

Anyone want to have a look at fixing redland under cygwin?  I don't use it.
