As mentioned, your path in bash does not include "." by default so you need
to add it or use "./Hello".  David, this seems like good FAQ fodder to me...

Well no, it doesn't mean that you *have* to run the program from the Cygwin
environment.  It does mean that if you don't run it from that environment, 
you need to make sure that the PATH that DOS sees has Cygwin1.dll in it.
