If you will notice, he made tarballs with a "." in the path. For some reason, setup can't handle this and ends up sticking the openjade binaries in the folder usr/bin [instead of sticking it in bin/]. Of course since /usr/bin is a virtual folder inside cygwin, the end result is that Cygwin will refuse to acknowledge the existance of the openjade binaries. Otherwise, with some minor tweaking of teTeX and the addition of pdfjadetex/sgmlutils/sgmlutils-lite/docbook-utils, I was able to get a fairly decent docbook build environment set up. Jon's email is bouncing, so I've had no way to contact him regarding this...
Cheers, Nicholas
