Reinstalled Quartus + Nios II => cygwin1.dll hell :-(

I used to use Cygwin, but when I installed Quartus II and Nios, my local 
installation stopped working; it couldn't find cygwin1.dll.  Rather than 
fight that, I remove my local installation of it, uninstalled Quartus II 
and Nios II and reinstalled everything.  To no avail the binaries under 
C:\altera\kits\nios2_60\bin\nios2-gnutools\H-i686-pc-cygwin\bin doesn't run.

Incidently, the Nios II Dev Board, reference manual seems out of sync. 
In "Appendix B: Restoring Factory Configuration, step 1" the directions 
to launch the SDK Shell doesn't match the menus -- in fact, there aren't 
any SDK Shell under the Altera menu.

I'd be much obliged for any help here.

Thanks,
Tommy

Gygwin and Quartus should work nicely together. Are you sure you try to
start 'real cygwin' from Cygwin installation directory not from Quartus
installation.

My cygwin.bat says:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

I have cygwin1.dll under C:\cygwin\bin.
