Could you dynamic link the Cygwin1.dll ? Just a thought
The DLL *is* dynamically linked to the executables. I think what he meant was that he has to ship the DLL in addition to his executable.
If the program is for your own use on your own system, the size of the Cygwin DLL is a non-issue, since it is already there.
Then I guess the question should be: Could you statically link the Cygwin1 library? :-)
If you're going to distribute a separate copy of the library with each executable anyway, dynamic linking doesn't make much sense.
