So I compiled without -mno-cygwin. According to cygcheck, I get the
correct dlls (dump enclosed below). This time the program runs silently,
and exits without popping up a window and with no errors. From
appropriately placed print statements, it appears that the program is
having trouble creating a window with glutCreateWindow and appears to die
silently before completing that step (or just after).

As I mentioned earlier, I will try to create a pared-down version that
recreates the problem: might be easier to circulate the src then, if
anyone wants to try their hand at compiling it...
