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?
