Short answer: currently it is impossible to use USB devices on the cygwin
version of pilot-link.
On linux the kernel has support to treat the USB connection to a
Palm/Handspring as a serial link (/dev/ttyUSB[01]). pilot-link uses this
pseudo-serial device.
If you want to do the same on cygwin you will have to add the equivalent of
the linux usbserial and visor modules to cygwin1.dll. Not a simple task ...
