OK. First, you should install gcc, make, binutils and other
development tools.  You must install gdbm too because maildrop use
this.

Then, get maildrop's source tarball from
http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ (I compiled version 1.2.2.).

I attach my *dirty* patch for maildrop to this email. 
Extract the tarball, and apply this patch to sources.

How to build:

$ tar zxvf maildrop-1.2.2.tar.gz
$ cd maildrop-1.2.2

$ patch -p1 < maildrop-1.2.2-cygwin.patch
$ ./configure --with-devel --enable-userdb --enable-maildirquota \
           --enable-syslog=1 \
           --enable-trusted-users='root mail daemon postmaster qmaild mmdf' \
           --enable-restrict-trusted=0
$ make
$ make install-strip

Or, you can get rpm-3.0.6 binary and maildrop's rpm binary package
from my page.and extract this tarball at root directory.  This tarball
include a command named 'rpm2cpio'. You can install maildrop's rpm
package by following at root directory:

rpm2cpio maildrop-1.2.2-2.i686-cygwin.rpm | cpio -idv

Sorry my poor English.
Good luck!

+ *  SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs.
+ *
+ *     This include file attempts to categorize possible error
+ *     exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail
+ *     and the Berkeley network.
+ *
+ *     Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of
+ *     clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may
+ *     already return.  The meaning of the codes is approximately
+ *     as follows:
+ *
+ *     EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with
+ *             the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad
+ *             syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
+ *     EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way.
+ *             This should only be used for user's data & not
+ *             system files.
+ *     EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not
+ *             exist or was not readable.  This could also include
+ *             errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared
+ *             to catch it).
+ *     EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist.  This might
+ *             be used for mail addresses or remote logins.
+ *     EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist.  This is used
+ *             in mail addresses or network requests.
+ *     EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable.  This can occur
+ *             if a support program or file does not exist.  This
+ *             can also be used as a catchall message when something
+ *             you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know
+ *             why.
+ *     EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected.
+ *             This should be limited to non-operating system related
+ *             errors as possible.
+ *     EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
+ *             This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot
+ *             fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like.  It includes
+ *             things like getuid returning a user that does not
+ *             exist in the passwd file.
+ *     EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp,
+ *             etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some
+ *             sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
+ *     EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
+ *             created.
+ *     EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
+ *     EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
+ *             is not really an error.  In sendmail, this means
+ *             that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
+ *             and the request should be reattempted later.
+ *     EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that
+ *             was "not possible" during a protocol exchange.
+ *     EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to
+ *             perform the operation.  This is not intended for
+ *             file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
+ *             CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
