Short answer: no.

There are ready-to-use solutions for Linux, iOS and OS X, but not for
Windows.

I believe Cygwin is only needed to build the WebKit library. From there
you use it as any Windows Library.

Regardless, I don't think you can get up to speed with WinCairo in a
day. There is no extensive documentation like on Linux and Mac.
