$PATH contains /usr/bin

Installing the -devel package, and undoing my "fix" to leptonica.py
fixed the problem.  I guess I'm now going to have to learn how to
build a Cygwin package for it.

Unfortunately I didn't realize how involved building it on Cygwin was
going to be and that it would be worth documenting, so I didn't keep
track of everything I had to do (sigh!)

How would I gauge interest in having a Cygwin version of OCRmyPDF?
