It seems that ipython got installed fine on my cygwin install. Just in
case if it could help anybody else here is the approximate procedure that
was followed:
1. Install main dependencies with cygwin's setup.exe.
2. Download source and install libffi [1] (this prevent an error of
pkg-config see [3]#about libffi)
3. Download source and install matplotlib disabling Tkagg [2] and
following instruction of [3], set also
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
4. Download source and install ipython
And then:
$ ipython --pylab
Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Jun 9 2012, 11:30:32)
(...)
IPython 0.13 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
(...)
In [1]: hist([1, 2, 3])
Out[1]:

array([ 1. , 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2. , 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3. ]),
<a list of 10 Patch objects>)
In [2]: plot([1,2,3],[4,5,9])
Out[2]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7df49dec>]
