Dear Oodini/Cygwin:

FWIW, I encountered this as well. I'm trying to get a handle
on another problem, and as one attempt I tried a fresh (zap all
Cygwin registry entries, rename my Cygwin directory and packages
repository), minimal (base plus emacs and enough X to support it)
install. emacs failed to start, giving a Windows dialog box with
the same complaint about libICE's unavailability. The paths
looked OK, and after a bit of thrashing around I went back to the
old installation.
I'll repeat the minimalist effort if there's any additional
information you'd like to hear about, like the cygcheck output
therefrom.
