The gnupro toolkit manual may say one thing, but the reality appears to 
be different on my recent (stock) install of cygwin.  Adding the 
directory with libboost_python.dll to my PATH made it work, while adding 
the directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH did nothing.

I was tipped off after doing a google search and running across this 
page (see about halfway down the page):
