Here's what I did (that worked).  First, from a cmd.exe prompt, I set up the build environment as per 
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupPrepareCommandCom (using the script there).  
Next, I ran \cygwin\bin\bash to get a bash shell.  Then I fixed the path (under bash) using the command "export 
PATH=$PATH:/bin" and then I changed to the test directory "cd test". Finally, I ran the test script from there 
"./test.sh -c" and everything worked.  If that works for you (or if it doesn't) let us know.  Since I was the last 
person to edit that portion of the developer's guide, I'd like to know your thoughts on how it should be edited so that 
this will be easier to understand.  It's definitely not intuitive, but I'm not sure where this test-specific 
information should be placed.  Any ideas would be welcome.

Ed
