which means that the problem is not tex4ht relatex and should be
taken to some other list.

If cygdrive and the prompt means that cygwin is involved: Make tests
without it. There is really no need to complicate things by using
non-windows tools. 

Open a normal windows cmd line or powershell and run xindy from
there.  Install a perl for windows if needed, e.g.
http://strawberryperl.com/.

Well even in a perfect world where everyone and every OS use unicode

representation (composed and decomposed) and so is problematic.
