Moving stuff around is not making it any simpler.
All stuff (guile, tetex helper, lilypond) is configured to live in,
and find other stuff in /Cygwin/usr/bin, /Cygwin/usr/share/... etc.

ALso, the lilypond tarballs have lilypond configured for, and installed in

   /Cygwin/usr/lilypond-x.y.z/bin,share 

etc., so that you can easily install, remove and have different
versions alongside eachother (because you windows folk don't have a
decent package manager).

Trust me.
