It also took some time for me to let it work ...
I do run on Windows 98, NT and 2000. Please put your
application, 'cygwin1.dll' and 'sh.exe' in the same
directory. Then write your system call as follows :
        system(
                "PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
                " "
                "some_command_to_execute"
        );

It does work for me.

Best Regards,
