I have a C program that uses the Win32 API and some curses functions. I was 
amazed at the speed at which I could develop this program with cygwin and 
gcc. cygwin is a wonderful thing, indeed. Now my problem is, how do I send 
this .exe to someone that doesn't use cygwin? Is there a way to get rid of 
the cygwin-specific dlls out of the executable? I tried -mno-cygwin but that 
seems to be something else, totally.

thanks a lot!

bash $ cygcheck a.exe
Found: .\a.exe
.\a.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses5.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL
