i find life is much easier if you keep the two separate. start a djgpp bash 
when you need to build using djgpp. this should not have any of the cygwin 
stuff in the path, for example, not cygwin's config.site, but djgpp's 
should be found by configure scripts if you are building packages using 
djgpp. also, as eli pointed out, you will have problems with passing long 
command lines to djgpp programs if you run them in cygwin bash.
