Can valgrind be used along with Cygwin?

Question

I am building source on Windows using Cygwin, I need to find places with memory leaks and possible memory leaks. I know about Valgrind used for memory leak detection in Linux.

Can Valgrind be used along with Cygwin so that it works in a Windows based environment?
If yes can you please tell what configurations, etc. are needed?
