Siegfried,
You don't need c:\cygwin\lib in your path, but you do need c:\cygwin\bin
there if you intend to run Cygwin applications from Win32 ones.
FWIW, the actual name of the DLL is cygxml2-2.dll (which you could have
determined by examining /usr/lib/libxml2.la), but it's surprising that it
looks for libxml2.dll. Can you start a regular bash shell from Emacs?
Can you run "cygcheck yourapp" from that shell before running "yourapp"?
What does the output of the above cygcheck command show?
