If those are the only dependencies, maybe it would not be too bad to just build up a deployment CD with the above on it.

Not quite what I wanted, but not too bad.

Please, don't worry about this.  By following the recipe you pointed at, I think I can eliminate this issue.

But it looks like it is.  (Especially not good since I am trying to use Win32 python, not cygwin python.)

$ cygcheck _librsync.dll
Found: .\_librsync.dll
.\_librsync.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\libpython2.2.dll

Thanks
