Bo,
In the past, packages that used non-autotools builds were accepted into
the Cygwin distribution with few problems. The only requirement is that
the packages should be buildable with things that are already in the
Cygwin distribution. Since, AFAIK, scons isn't yet, you might want to ITP
scons before you ITP lyx.
HTH,
Igor
