This is not a cygwin bug. Searching for libfreetype.dll somewhere on the
system causes unpredictable results (btw: I could name a trojan libfreetype.dll
place it somewhere in $PATH and your program would just execute it).
Either uninstall the XFree86-lib-compat package, wait for its disappearance or
ask the application provider to fix this.
