I think the problem here is that you're thinking in Windows/DOS
terms and not Cygwin/Unix terms.

You need to set MAGICK_HOME for the Unix stuff, not for DOS/Windows.

The README.win32 explains where to add it, which is your .profile
file, not a batch script.  It needs to take effect inside the BASH
shell.  Make sense?
