Synopsis: CGI scripts do not work when apache is run as a service

State-Changed-Why:

Dexter, please try 1. compiling with msvc and see if that 
changes the behavior.  2. moving the cygwin binary to the
apache serverroot or the %SystemRoot%\system32\ directory,
or assure that the cygwin path is in the PATH env var for 
ALL users (you will need to reboot for this to take effect.)

The apache service runs in the context of the LocalSystem
(SYSTEM) user account.  Therefore, your path doesn't affect
the Apache service.

You already tried stopping the apache service, and ran
apache from the command line.  This often affects the way 
apps run, especially if they have any dependencies on the
GUI subsystem.  I dunno if cygwin makes some horrid
assumptions.   See...

Please report back what solved your headache.  Thanks.
