Correction:

The "c:\cygwin\usr\lib\w32api" DOES actually exist in windows, but I could 
not access that directory within the cygwin shell:

$ cd /usr/lib/w32api
bash: cd: /usr/lib/w32api: No such file or directory

However, if I copy "c:\cygwin\usr\lib\w32api" to c:\cygwin\lib, then 
everything works (like what Luke said).

So what I think we're dealing with here is, "why can't cygwin see the 
c:\cygwin\usr\lib\w32api directory"?

Thanks again,
