Or, you can completely fork cygwin, and change:
   1) the dll name
   2) the shared memory name
   3) the registry key locations
   4) <catchall for whatever I forgot>

And roll your own "IvoWin".  (Remember, tho, cygwin is GPL; therefore 
IvoWin will be GPL and you must make the source code available to 
whomever you give the binary.  Ditto for your app - but that's already 
true for your app, since it currently links to cygwin itself)

Using cygwin's gcc to build your app might be tricky; if you use 
cygwin's gcc, then you'd need to build your app using something like:
   gcc -nostdlib a.o b.o c.o -livowin -luser32 -l......
It gets tricky.

Earnie Boyd did this several months ago, for use with mingw (the MSYS 
project).  Of course, his mods were quite a bit more drastic than 1-4 above.
