Your first mistake was right here:

> In the Cygwin case I moved the dll and lib file into libs\python\example
and

Bad idea. Everything was set up perfectly already. Running "bjam test"
would have run the test case. If you want to see what it does, run
    "bjam -d+2 test"

> Apparently it sees the dll just fine

Why do you think so? It's finding the extension module but missing bpl.dll

Same problem here.
