Not a test to see if everything was working - a test if guile is working
properly under cygwin (Alex's comment).
I've run through about 3 test cases (examples on the network) and have found
the only hard to fix problem being the shifting libraries names and
footprints.
gschem, gnetlist, gsymbols, gerbv and pcb all seem to be playing nice. pcb
over tightvnc is a little rough, but I can live without that.

Can you suggest a quick definitive test? The version of guile that I
tested came from the cygwin setup and appears to be functional out of the

While the mingw port would be the preferred route, it appears to require
a greater level of hacking skill.
Do you mean a definitive test to see if everything is working?
What I'd do is run gschem to see if you can create a simple schematic.
Then run gnetlist to see if you can netlist the design. If those two
things work, then that's most of it.
There are a number of other utilities, but I wouldn't worry about testing
each of them. If gschem and gnetlist are working at all, then I think
you're past the big (if any) hurdles. Any other issues are likely to be
small and relatively easy to fix.
