The following worked for me this morning (although the 
combination isn't successful on this PC):

1. Get the cygwin clisp-2.31 binary proposed for inclusion in cygwin

   ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/lisp/clisp/binaries/latest/cygwin/clisp-2.31-1.tar.bz2

   	(I haven't much experience with this version of clisp, but it proposed 
	for inclusion in cygwin, so I thought I would try it.)

2. Untar it into /

	cd /
	tar xjf /tmp/clisp-2.31-1.tar.bz2

3. Untar maxima tarball (I used maxima-5.9.0.tar.gz from maxima.sf.net)

4. Build and install maxima.  I used both maxima-5.9.0.tar.gz from 
   maxima.sf.net and 5.9.0.1cvs from CVS 

	cd /usr/local/src  (or wherever)
	tar xzf /tmp/maxima-5.9.0.tar.gz
	cd maxima-5.9.0  
	./configure
	make
	make check
	make install

5. Build and install TeXmacs

	cd /usr/local/src    (or wherever)
	tar xzf TeXmacs-1.0.1.21-src.tar.gz
	cd TeXmacs-1.0.1.21-src
	./configure
	make
	make install


Unfortunately the texmacs and maxima don't work together on this PC.
