No, you're not mistaken.  Yes, Cygwin is a project whose community
incorporates many different cliques of peoples.  And, yes, you are
contributing to the project just by creating a presence for the
product.  The tools are excellent though because some of those cliques
keep adding to the set of tools.  Our set of tools have recently become
sufficiently large that we've begun to see a number of similar posts
concerning "What am I missing" by the less non-technical cliques.  The
common response to such has been "since you don't know then install
all".  However, I for one believe it's time to start helping out those
cliques that don't know to figure out what's missing until we can modify
setup to select a minimal installation.

You can remove the cygintl.dll dependency by doing a -static build.  The
instructions for a static build for libintl.a is in the
/usr/doc/Cygwin/gettext*.README.

Good luck,
Earnie.
