Cygwin includes the wodim package which comes from cdrkit which itself 
is a fork of cdrtools.  Install wodim and give it a try.  It has always 
worked great for me.

A minimal Cygwin installation isn't that large, so it would be better to 
go ahead and install one and add in the package you need.  You can 
assemble things by hand if you like, but you'll be spending your own 
time to deal with it as you discovered.

Thomas is likely aware of the licensing issues surrounding including the 
Cygwin DLL and other supporting DLLs in his archive.  While the terms 
aren't necessarily onerous, they may be more of a headache to comply 
with than Thomas wants to bother.

Setup.exe supports installing from a pre-downloaded set of package 
files.  You can perform an Internet-based installation on a machine with 
a functional Internet connection to get all the packages you'll want to 
install and then copy the directory setup.exe creates to hold the 
downloaded package files onto a DVD along with setup.exe itself.  You 
should then be able to run setup.exe from that DVD and tell it to use 
the package files already on the DVD for installation.
