Hello,

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?

I need to give stand-alone executables to my users; I cannot tell them 
to install Cygwin as well. If your installer does not let me compile 
stand-alone executables, it has no value to me.

That being said I appreciate your reactivity :)

Cheers,
