LyX will look for .layout files in the ${LYX_USER_SUPPORT}/layouts
directory where
LYX_USER_SUPPORT="$HOME/.lyx"
on *nix and, I guess, Cygwin and
LYX_USER_SUPPORT="C:/Documents and Settings/USER/Application
Data/LyX"
on Windows.
So, question 1: you're using the Cygwin executable, right?
If you install the LyX layout file correctly, you should be able to
find the thing in the Layouts->Document menu. If the LaTeX class is
not installed correctly, then the class will be marked as
"unavailable", meaning you can edit your .lyx document but you won't
be able to generate a .dvi file, etc.
