It also means that the current and only available win32 binary doesn't

Again, having C:\Dev\Cygwin available somehow made up for what the client 
was looking. Renaming this folder made the same problem occur.

Well, I guess it really has some trouble. I've uploaded a strace log:
http://christophe.gisquet.free.fr/log.txt.bz2
It has some problems, but it seems to get the TEMP path right in the end.
string demexp-lablgtk2-client doesn't show anything related to the faulty 
path, "C:\Dev\cygwin\tmp", which is a bad translation of /tmp

"Will code for beer". :)

See http://christophe.gisquet.free.fr/distrib.tar.bz2 for the original 
installer script and additional files. Many projects on sourceforge also 
include such scripts, so you may find even more "litterature".
