Do I have to watch out for windows nt or windows 2000 registry entries?
If so, what are the minimal requirements, ie mounts etc.

Is there a  "super" minimal option in the standard
cygwin installation that does take care of registry entries, etc
if necessary and just puts the:

Cygwin1.dll (+sources to satisfy the GPL).  

in the right place and adds the appropriate registry entries?

There may be other DLLs your 
application relies on which I don't know about.
