My answer assumes that you are using ditac.bat and not XMLmind XSL 
Utility (which includes FOP).

Cygwin is definitely not supported by us. We know this tool quite well 
and use it very often, but never to run ``native Windows'' tools.

I'm sorry but I do not understand this. Do you mean that you use

java -jar fop.jar

instead of fop.bat?

The documentation is correct: 
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/install.html

You are assumed to have downloaded FOP from this site:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/index.html

The distribution indeed includes fop.bat:
---
/opt/fop$ ls

build/  examples/  fop.cmd    KEYS     NOTICE
conf/   fop*       fop.js     lib/     README
docs/   fop.bat    javadocs/  LICENSE  status.xml
---

If you don't want to do this because you already have FOP bundled with 
one of your applications, then recreate a simplified fop.bat by hand or 
keep using "java -jar fop.jar" if it works for you (never did this myself).
