Can I suggest that since we're discussing ways of getting rid of the
cygwin DLL this is probably not really on-topic here?  This is supposed
to be a list which discusses how to use cygwin not how to not use
cygwin.

Maybe www.mingw.org is what is required.

Or, alternatively, a Red Hat commercial license might be applicable.
Click on the "Red Hat Cygwin Product" link at http://cygwin.com/,
if so.
