Hi Robert,

Yes, of course :)
I recognized, that you did not mean the Cygnus CDK, but I thought, you
really intend to distribute a few large apps. In this case, it wouldn't
be a good idea to put them all in one single directory. But if you want
to give away only some small programs and you know, that on these
systems there is no Cygnus CDK installed, it is perfectly ok to put the
dll into the same directory as your programs.
IMHO of course :)

I'm not an expert, at most I'm an experienced user.

Great to hear that you like my report :)
Besides that it would also be great, if more people could contribute to
it. I often see packages somewhere, which I don't know and which are not
in this report. This report is only useful, if as many people as
possible make there contributions.
