True, its just the way Windows works, some libraries are dynamically
loaded, some may not exist, and are not needed.

Try the view from SysInternals' Dependency Walker (which now seems to be
named ListDLLs, or maybe was added to ProcessExplorer), shows the same
thing (if the Windows PATH is set to include Cygwin's libraries), with
lots of interrogation signs... except that it also shows exactly which
dll is "missing".
