Thanks for the help. Since your advice kept me from having to "install" cygwin
on the machines I'm going to run this on, the mounting, I suppose defaults to
what it was on my compiling machine, which is the C drive for cygwin in my case.



Actually, no.  I guess I wasn't clear.  Whether the file is found or not
depends on the current drive.  If the user's current drive is C: and you've
installed the file on the C drive, then the path will work.  Otherwise,
it will complain that the file isn't found.  If you want to avoid this,
you need to create the mount point I suggested or otherwise wrap your
application to make sure that C: is always the current drive when it
runs.
