Well, for a virgin system without cygwin installed and a truly
standalone par exe,
the list of needed dll's is fine, with the exception of unitialized
mounts points (registry)
and /etc/{passwd,groups}.
But the test case will not run on such a virgin system, and a virgin
system is very "virgin",
without users and mounts.
