Worked like a charm!
Thank you.
Next step, installing the server. Is there a WinXP server as well?

I don't know too much about the cygwin port, but Phil Nelson made a
snapshot (mirror) of the version of cygwin he used to build the
client.
http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/mirrors/cygwin/
It contains a 'coda-base' package which depends on,
perl cygrunsrv tar bash cygwin
I guess that cygwin, tar and bash are most likely part of the base
install. I don't see an fltk dependency, but vcodacon is not really
critical for the correct operation of the client. Also vcodacon was
added fairly recently, so maybe the dependency was simply overlooked.

Open a cygwin shell and run,
ls /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu/
