	The only way to force Cygwin to not depend on cygwin1.dll is to 
set the -mno-cygwin switch in your compile line 
(eg gcc -c -ofoo.exe foo.c -mno-cygwin).

	By forcing the elimination of cygwin1.dll using -mno-cygwin, 
you can then do this:

	gcc -ofoo.exe foo.c -mno-cygwin -lcygwin

	The default paths already scan the usr/lib directory.  It is 
the usr/lib directory that has the static version of cygwin 
(libcygwin.a).

	Peace,

		Paul G.
