What is interesting is that ldd on cygwin1.dll says it depends on
msvcrt.dll, but that might not be a problem ?

It seems like you could somehow fix it with this trick
https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.programming.msvs-mingw (though I don't
really understand what difference it would make, because something seems to
be missing in the explanation (or more probably there's something I don't
understand;-) and it seems to be a bit cumbersome as well if you're having a
large product with a long lifetime)

In my honest opinion I think this disability to use cygwin-libraries from
windows-applications kind of limits some of cygwins purpose, but I do still
think cygwin is a great open source project ;-)


Best regards,
Kristian
