There is no need to include "requires: cygwin". That's a given.
Most setup.hint's do explicitly require cygwin.
Specifically, 423 requires lines include cygwin whereas 121 do not.
setup.exe doesn't special case the name 'cygwin' at all, so it seems
appropriate to explicitly depend on cygwin for any packages which contain
binaries - though I'll admit that the occasional missing dependency on
cygwin isn't going to cause any actual brokenness.
Max.
