IIRC configure does *not* use the path to locate X (reason: finding the 
X libraries does not indicate where the X headers are!). Run 
'./configure --help' and it is very likely there is some argument to 
tell where the X stuff is.

Using the path to locate libraries is a Windowism. I suspect cygwin does 
*not* do that at all, even for a dlopen (but IANAG)
