Great.  Btw, did you see Basil's mail about setting CYGWIN=tty?  Sure,
this only affects when running from the Cygwin promp, but it is
something?

Does lilypond not run at all, is this the latest version only?  Why
didn't we catch this before?  Sacha reports that lilypond works, but
gs does not generate PDFs on Windows ME...

convert is from imagemagick.  But it only produces the lilypond icon, you
could copy the icon directly or do without that
