On the Cygwin side of the blame: In every Unix/Linux I used, if a shared
library cannot be found, we get a very clear message, something like:

In this case, all I got was the quiet death of the program.

echo $? typically returns error code 53. 'net helpmsg 53' gives a decent hint - "The network path was not found."
