Although this is nothing specific to Cygwin: If you want to make the
variable value available to processes which are executed subsequently,
you need to export the variable, not just set it, as in:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files
Alternatively, set the variable in the command line like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files foo
assuming that "foo" is the command to start the app which requires the dll.

Thanks Markus, this was very useful information which I will benefit
from from now on! Unfortunately, it didn't actually help the process to
find the DLL files but doing:
$ PATH=$PATH:/path/to/myDLLS foo
does work. I guess LD_LIBRARY_PATH cannot be used for what I was trying
to do. Oh, btw, to those who mail me copies of mails sent to the list.
It's not necessary, I'm interacting with the list through gmane, set-up
as a newsgroup under my email-client. :)
