OK, I figured this out.
the problem is that libpari is installed in /usr/local/lib which is not
in PATH (and on woe32 DDLs have to be in PATH).
so, long ago I create a hard link from /usr/local/lib/libpari-2.2.dll to
/usr/local/bin/libpari-2.2.dll which the pari installation process
destroyed (thus I ended up with 2 libpari's: old in /usr/local/bin/ and
new in /usr/local/lib/).

Thus, I must request that pari on cygwin install libpari also in
/usr/local/bin (as a hard link, if possible).

Also, while I am at it, it would be nice to have an "uninstall" make
target too.

thanks.
