My two bits on the cygwin.dll and cygnus in general.

First the cygwin.dll is to large It should not 
contain the unix to win32 interface. Second, there should
be a facility to compile statically and to separate the
C runtime and C++ runtimes into seperate dlls and statically
linkable libs. The task of porting all the gnu unix to win32
via the gcc should be dropped. It poisons an otherwise 
very good idea: gcc for win32.
