Harold,
25 minutes is an awful lot of time. It's more like a couple of
minutes on my box. What kind of machine are you using?
Secondly: when configure aborts, you should have a config.log file in the
same directory with more details about the failure. May you have a look at
it and see why the check fails? It might give you hints about missing
include paths and such.

As for Boost, the directions at

should work.
As for QuantLib under Cygwin, there was a related thread on this mailing
list a while ago. Let me look for it... here it is:

Let me know if this helps.
Later,

P.S. Release 0.3.8 (out shortly) will include support for Dev-C++ and
MinGW, which might be a viable alternative to Cygwin on Windows systems.
