Directory existence prevents .exe execution

[Ross Smith]

Luke, I think the fundamental point that you're missing here is that 
Cygwin is intended to be a subspecies of Unix, not a subspecies of Windows.

I'm not familiar with Ici, but if it currently has both Windows and Unix 
versions, you should expect the Unix version, not the Windows version, 
to be appropriate for Cygwin. If it's currently Windows-only and doesn't 
have a Unix version, it's very unlikely to just work as a native Cygwin 
build without considerable effort. You should expect that porting code 
from Windows to Cygwin will take an effort comparable to porting it to 
Linux.
