No, but msgfmt.exe of my djgpp installation has been taken, because 
msgfmt.exe of cygwin has not been found. I made sure, that msgfmt.exe
is located in c:/cygwin/usr/bin and that /usr/bin is in the path 
variable. An ls from the bash shell in /usr/bin results in a different 
files than I see from Windows Explorer.
