Thanks for the pointers.  I didn't like the call to the external 
process, or having to remove the taint check from the test, so I've just 
committed a different fix for this problem.

Win32::GUI::LoadLibrary() has been enhanced to:

(1) Convert '/' to '\' - as (on win98 at least) LoadLibrary doesn't like 
Unix separators.
(2) call cygwin_convert_to_win32_path() under Cygwin (this is pretty 
much what cygpath does with the -w option)
(3) now returns undef (rather than 0) on error

I don't know how to fix this is CVS, but I can confirm that if I do
   nmake tardist
and then extract the resulting tar.gz file in my cygwin environment that 
the execute bit is correctly set on SciLexer.dll
