Skipped CERNLIB, Oracle
From the DOS prompt, set path to "" and ran vsvars32.bat, defined ROOTSYS to point to the root directory containing the source code and added Python to the path as well as %ROOTSYS%/lib and %ROOTSYS%/bin. The %ROOTSYS%\bin directory must be first in the path to get the nmake build of root's test routines to work.
Updated the LIB env variable to include %ROOTSYS\lib
Start cygwin via the command line: bash --login -i
At the cygwin prompt, changed directories to the %ROOTSYS% dir and then ran configure:
./configure win32 --enable-roofit --enable-minuit2 --enable-table \
--enable-python --disable-odbc --enable-gdml \
--enable-unuran --enable-xrootd \
--with-fftw3-incdir=C:/heather/root-5.14d/fftw-3.1.2-dll \

Note that ROOT-central lists the following as their configuration for the win32gdk build (as seen on the page: http://root.cern.ch/root/myconfig/Version514.config.html):
