As I said earlier we are willing to distribute cygwin binaries.
But it looks like we need a volunteer first to create them.

Or is _any_ cygwin user supposed to have a complete development system
installed?
On OS/2 an "EMX user" is someone which has the required DLLs on the
system, but that does by no means indicate that also gcc (+...) is
available.

The FAQ/Install docs have an entry about DLLs on Windows.
