I noticed that cygwin's default sh.exe fails at some configure scripts. 
Not sure why and never got too curious about it, since bash.exe works 
fine ;-)

Also, try to create C:/cygwin/etc/profile.d/mingw.sh with the line:

export PATH=/cygdrive/c/mingw/bin:$PATH

You could do that in cmd.exe/command.exe.

I guess that you do not have cygwin in your path. Here's an example that 
can (but does not have to :-) work:

C> path %PATH;C:\mingw\bin;C:\cygwin\bin
C> cd c:\dqkit
$ tclsh gen/buildkit build -tk -blt -resfile -current -binary custom

And see if it works.

It's in the other mail. Edit current.res, save as yourfile.res to use 
different icons (yourfile1.ico, yourfile2.ico, ... ;-), you can even 
send them back to me to have them in the distro.
