#  However, practically all Win32 programs require at least
# one of the Win32 API DLLs, directly or through some other library or DLL, so
# basically all Win32 programs are dynamically linked. To achieve something
# like a UNIX statically linked executable what you need to do is make sure
# you don't link any DLLs which don't come with the operating system.

That would be a little tricky....

# So, either you can rebuild newlib as a static library, or you can distribute
# a copy of cygwin's dll with your program (or you can use Mingw32, but that
# would be a shameless plug :-) ).

I think the Mingw32 route sounds best, (well it's easiest for me - so it's 
obviously
the best!).
