/usr/local/lib must in the PATH environment variable.

Use:

  PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib
  export PATH

It is the first I see somebody using Cygwin and its compiler to build CGAL 
shared libraries. In my opinion there is a bug in the CGAL installation 
process: the .dll files should have been installed into /usr/local/bin, and 
not in /usr/local/lib/.
