Copy cygwin1.dll from the cygwin/bin dir. I dunno what the license is
regarding that though.
A good way to test if you have all the dlls you need is to set the path
to empty, e.g.
set PATH=
then run you app. If the additional dlls are required and they are not
in the dir where you run the app from windows will report an error.
Alternatively, you could compile as "-mno-cygwin" or use mingw if you
don't need the unix like behaviour.
