Jari,

Try running 'cygcheck -f' on the POSIX path to each of the DLLs listed by
cygcheck.  In fact, I've posted the following in the past, which should
work for you:

find .inst -name '*.exe' | xargs cygcheck | sed -e '/\.exe/d' -e 's,\\,/,g' | sort -bu | xargs -n1 cygpath -u | xargs cygcheck -f

The above should find all the external dependences for the executables in
your package.  If you're providing a run-time library, you'll need to also
include '*.dll' in the find command (ditto for '*.bin', as in TeXmacs).
Also, dependences resulting from scripts aren't detected by the above.
