According to Brian Dessent on 3/13/2008 7:45 PM:
| Anyway, the attached patch fixes all that by adding logic to let the
| actual NTSTATUS logic percolate up to the waiting parent, so that it can
| recognise these kinds of common(ish) faults and print a friendly message
| -- or at least something other than silently dieing with no output.

Cool!  However, I haven't looked at the patch itself, yet.

| $ ./dll_not_found
| dll_not_found.exe: one or more DLLs that this program requires cannot be
| located by the system.  Make sure the PATH is correct and re-run the
| setup program to install any packages indicated as necessary to satisfy
| library dependencies.
| Killed

Should we also mention 'cygcheck ./dll_not_found' to find out which ones
are missing?

|
| $ ./missing_import
| missing_import.exe: an entry point for one of more symbols could not be
| found during program initialization.  Usually this means an incorrect
| or out of date version of one or more DLLs is being erroniously found
| on the PATH.
| Killed

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
