Well this needs some investigation now.

However, the second error (TCP service "smtp" not found) is resolved
now, I changed the /etc/services, but the file looked up was the
/etc/services in the WINNT sytem directory, after I changed this too
it works ok. if Exim runs in daemon mode with -oX 25 flag.

Many thanks to Jerry Jorgenson who gave me the hint that there should
be no spaces in /etc/services.

It should be there, it compiles ok.
I'll see.

That is completely under the control of Cygwin and it as it is 'real'
unix filesystem;)
