Distributing packages that use cygwin

[David Yeh]

Is it possible to use cygwin to compile an application from source and
distribute it as a binary without making the users install all of cygwin?
If so, what are some possible problems?  For example, what if the
application needed access to the file structure?  (namely, tmp)  Woule the
application have to be modified and recompiled with no filestrucutre
dependencies?

Also, is it a good idea to make future cygwin releases include the tmp as
implicit in the file structure (as dev and proc are) and just link it to
whatever the TEMP directory under windows is.


Thanks,
David
