In a publication I have offered to furnish on request the source code 
and windows executable for a program that I personally run under cygwin. 
 Don't I have to use mingw for the publicly distributed version, or 
else bundle the executable with cygwin source code?   As I understand, 
simply providing a link to the cygwin web site does not satisfy the license.
