Why should one never explicitly link kernel32? because it is automatically linked in. There is a program called depends (think it was in the lcc zip, if you want it drop me a note) that will list what dll's a program loads up. Running it on anything compiled with cygwin shows that it is being loaded, as well as several other dlls. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
