That's why I renamed MinGW to be MinGW.save, so I don't have that in my
path any more. Sometimes I need it, so I rename it back, but I haven't
done that in quite some time.

Here's another strange thing about it.  I use bash in an rxvt window. If
I Win-R (Run) bash, I can then cd to the YAZ folder, and do the same steps
and it works just fine - 'sh' and then cd to src works perfectly. But yet
from my rxvt window, it doesn't. Here's the line that starts my rxvt in
my startxwin.bat file:

%RUN% rxvt -title "Cygwin" -g 100x50+1104+0 -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i

If I run bash using the same parameters, everything works fine.
