Well, it's not really expat itself, just the runtests script.  I'm not sure what generates this script and I didn't keep the old one.  I can duplicate it if you want.  I think there are two lines in particular - the relink_command= line at the top, and the "# Add the dll search path components to the executable PATH" line towards the end.  Both of these had "D:\CVS Modules\expat\", which didn't work because of the space.  Moving the directory into / changed it to "/expat", which did.

Thinking about it, there are two things here - one is that the directory name included a space, and the other was that it was outside of my normal cygwin structure (although '/cygdrive/d/CVS\ Modules/expat/' isn't).

Let me know if you want me to do any other testing.

No worries, glad it all works.
