That may be true, but it is still surprising that msmtp should depend
on libgnome-keyring0.  I don't use msmtp under Cygwin, but I do under
FreeBSD, and under the latter platform, my version of msmtp seems to
depend on:

        bash-4.4.12_3
        ca_root_nss-3.36
        indexinfo-0.3.1
        gettext-runtime-0.19.8.1_1

This obviously will not translate directly into Cygwin, but it
certainly suggests that the OP's comment is justified.  (I'll have to
admit, I don't know why even bash should be a dependency.)
