The issue is caused because jim will install into /usr/local/lib.
cygwin and mingw will only look in /usr/lib - quick solution is to 
manually move the various files.
You may also have todo this for the include files aswell.

Tweaking the install path is the better solution,eg.
./configure --with-jim-ext="nvp" --prefix=/usr

I am working on a updated build that will build jimtcl inline, so this 
will solve all problems.
