I've got source tree downloaded, compiled with some changes and running

just Cygwin so far. In the documentation I see that gcc under Cygwin can
compile Wireshark.
Where did you read that. It should contain a warning that this won't work out of the box. 
Most of users around me are using Windows build of Ethereal or
Wireshark. I have also found information about builing Windows binary
with Cygwin gcc that does not need cygwin.dll. Is it possible to build
an independent plugin with this environment?

There's no Plugin SDK or such. You'll need to completely build Wireshark.
The upcoming 0.99.5 release will bring support "out of the box" for a lot of newer Visual C versions than V6, including support for the free (as in beer) Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition which might 
suit your needs. So just wait a few days ;-)
You might do yourself a favour and don't try to build with cygwin/gcc, as this is very experimental.
