Good point, and I think I've actually heard of that before. So maybe 
what I said is not true for C applications. I was actually thinking more 
in terms of OCaml, which is my main language. For some reason when you 
compile an OCaml application under Cygwin the user also needs to have 
Cygwin. I've been meaning to learn more about how to work with OCaml on 
Windows, but since there's no  pressing need to do it, I haven't gotten 
around to it.
