Are you saying the error is not 'msgfmt: not found'? In other words, the script is really finding msgfmt.exe? I'm confused because the rest of your statement seems to indicate you may have copied msgfmt.exe into c:/cygwin/usr/bin using some windows utility (cmd shell, Windows Explorer, etc). Since Cygwin makes a mount point of /usr/bin that refers back to /bin, there will be nothing in c:/cygwin/usr/bin as seen from Windows Explorer. And from a Cygwin utility, anything copied to c:/cygwin/usr/bin by a Windows tool would be hidden by the mount of /bin over /usr/bin. But if this is true and msgfmt.exe is hidden for this reason, the error would in fact be 'msgfmt: not found'.
