Hi Timothy,

Did you rebuild libxml2 and libtiff after updating build.sh?  Does 
Dependency Walker still list the extra dependency?

The Windows build of OpenSlide doesn't require Cygwin at all, except 
during the build process.  Installing Cygwin packages shouldn't affect 
anything.

It sounds as though your Eclipse search path was incorrect.  That 
doesn't explain the problem running openslide.jar, though.
