It's not that easy. First QLGT on Windows is compiled with Visual Studio and uses Microsoft's runtime libraries. They won't really work together with the ones from cygwin and gcc.
Second, afaik, libusb will not really work for Windows. You have to use the drivers supplied by Garmin. To port these drivers is not really a work from scratch. The first version of QLandkarte, the one without the GT, has support for all devices related to the GPSMap60SCx. Thus there is a blue print on how to do it. It's just nobody cared about it so far.
