I've had similar problems, and it seems that a solution is to root your
install directory (where the bin and lib are going to go) outside of
the cygwin directory (like to c:\ocaml, for instance).

It seems that the path that is put in the ocaml executable does not make
sense from a non-cygwin point of view (but this is just a guess).
