Or any DLLs that need to be loaded from non-Cygwin main programs (e.g. 
Sun Java). This has been a problem for several releases now, and no one 
(me included, I must confess) seems to find the time to narrow this down..

Your best bet may be to compile your JNI code with mingw (or use the 
-mno-cygwin option with the cygwin gcc). You won't be able to use a lot 
of POSIX system calls in this mode, but at least the resultant DLL 
should be loadable from non-cygwin main programs.
