I don't know. XIM should be compiled in but I know of no XIM server
available for cygwin. Maybe the japanese users may shed some light
on this.

I'm not sure but the last statements I heard told there are only 
very few locales supported in cygwin.

Maybe you should try using the X11 locale support in the application.
Use -DX_LOCALE when compiling and see /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlocale.h
