The simple explanation for this one is that before today [1], GNU gettext on MSVC did not install the intl-8.dll in a way that was usable from a Cygwin environment. It was usable from a cmd.exe environment, but here the configure script being a shell script, it needs a Cygwin environment or similar. So, you need to install GNU gettext from today (or, if an older one, build it with --disable-shared), and then the "checking for GNU gettext in libintl..." test should report "yes".
