[GRASS5] problems with GRASS 5.7 binaries for Windows

Hi,

I just did a new install of Cygwin + GRASS 5.7. Two problems:

[with spearfish5.7 + GRASS/gdal/xtcltk from
    http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass57/binary/mswindows_cygwin/]


1)  v.info roads     ERROR: pq.dll not found in PATH


2)  xeyes, d.mon, d.rast all work ok.
Anything that uses tcltk doesn't, giving:
   ERROR: libX11.dll not found in PATH

Note cygwin has recently transitioned to X.org from XFree86.

??


also, any ideas on starting GRASS from the Windows' desktop without
having to type 'startx' and 'grass57'? There isn't enough memory to
leave X running all the time, & the computer is needed for other things.
Cygwin isn't needed for anything else (and if it is, I'm sure the person
who knows UNIX can figure out another way in)

['startx' in .bash_profile and 'exec grass57' in .xsession ?]
Icon attached for motivation.


thanks,
Hamish
