Loading the cygwin1.dll dynamically is certainly an option. I tried it, 
although I'm not quite sure how to make sure I have "4K of scratch space 
at the bottom of the stack", like the faq says.

My test program crashes once cygwin_dll_init is called. :-((

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char blah[4096];
	int rc;
	
	HMODULE h = LoadLibrary("cygwin1.dll");
	printf("LoadLibrary: %d\n", (int)h);
	if ((int)h < 32) {
		return 1;
	}
	
	void (*cyginit)() = (void (*)())GetProcAddress(h, "cygwin_dll_init");
	printf("cyginit: %p\n", cyginit);
	if (cyginit) {
		printf("calling...\n");
		cyginit();
		printf("call ok\n");
	}
	
	FreeLibrary(h);
	return 0;
}

This is the program output:

LoadLibrary: 1627389952
cyginit: 61006F00

What is going wrong here?

Thanks,
Patrick.
