Thank you René and Andrey.

I found this too:
http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall

However, this leads to a another question. On the X2Go project, we
compile nxproxy, a 3rd-party piece of software that we are now
maintaining, against Cygwin. We also recompile Cygwin OpenSSH with an
X2Go-compatibility patch applied and with Kerberos support disabled.
(We make sure to comply with the GPL.)
So far we have just been distributing these .exe files and .dll
files[1] in the X2Go Client directory (C:\Program Files
(x86)\x2goclient\), which also contains regular win32 code. We do not
run the Cygwin installer or call rebase. We use NSIS for our
installer, and it simply copies the files.

So my question is: Is there a better way to distribute/install these 2 programs?
(We want to make X2Go Client for Windows easy to install, even for
people who have never used Cygwin. We also want to update/upgrade
these files in between X2Go Client maintenance releases (like 4.0.3.x)
only when there is a need to, such as a security update.)

Also, in the absence of a doing things differently, should we just
distribute the original .exe and .dll files from the cygwin binary
packages?
