bug: startxwin.bat assumes absolute path for /cygwin

[Brian Genisio]

Hmmm... I'd hardly call that a bug... more the nature of a start 
script.  Start scripts for just about any product are mere suggestions... 
the executable is the actual product, and assumes defaults values, unless 
you specify differently.  How might the script know where to find the dll 
without telling it?  It assumes it is in the \cygwin directory, because 
that is the default and suggested place for cygwin to be installed... if 
you dont install cygwin there, all scripts and execs that assume the 
default values have to be changed to reflect the stray from the default.
