Interesting. My guess (not having looked at code, or tried it, or
anything!) is that it's trying to read "deps:dist" from the ERL_LIBS env
var as if it were a pathname -- and on windows, that'll look for a DEPS:
drive, or something, won't it?

Our build scripts and makefiles no doubt will need tweaking for cygwin.
There's a cygpath utility I dimly remember for translating paths back
and forth -- perhaps the script could detect its platform and apply
either cygpath or a noop in strategic places?
