OK, I think we need more info here: see http://cygwin.com/bugs.html and 
also tell us:
* what Java VM are you using?
* Why do you expect LD_LIBRARY_PATH to work on Windows?

Note that Cygwin is not the one that loads the libraries for you - that's 
Windows' job. I would be (very) surprised if you were using a VM running 
under Cygwin , and that VM uses dlopen() and not LoadLibrary() (in which 
case LD_LIBRARY_PATH would work, of course).

but hey - go ahead - surprise me!
