I have now installed a fresh cygwin install on a new Win32 computer,
and ran into the same "cannot find binary" issue upon a fresh checkout
and compile of lyx.
The following patch fixes this by ensuring that BOOST_POSIX is set
for Cygwin in the src/config.h file.
I see no reason why we just should not assume BOOST_POSIX for Cygwin.
