Well, it's not exactly there, but...

address@hidden /c/tmp/libxml2-2.6.19
$ ls -l /.libs/xmllint.exe
ls: /.libs/xmllint.exe: No such file or directory

it *is* here

address@hidden /c/tmp/libxml2-2.6.19
$ ls -l ./.libs/xmllint.exe
-rwxr-xr-x    1 mmXXXXX  Administ  1089930 Dec  1 15:08 ./.libs/xmllint.exe

This may be an elementary question, but is there something I should
have configured so MSYS's bash doesn't need the '.' at the beginning 
of the path? It really seems like this should just work.
