I always heard that if you compile your program under the Cygwin environment, then the application needs to be run under the Cygwin environment as well; whereas if you use MinGW, you produce stand-alone executables. Is that still the case?
It depends on what you call "under the Cygwin environment". What matters is which toolchain OCaml uses. It has always been the case that the "officially supported" toolchain for the MinGW port of OCaml is provided by Cygwin packages (previously: the regular gcc package, with the -mno-cygwin flag; now: the mingw64 32-bit or 64-bit packages). Which does not imply any runtime dependency on Cygwin for the binaries compiled with ocamlopt.
