Re: Cygwinb19.dll


# That sounds like the perfect way of making non-DLL requiring EXEs w/

Agreed. What I was getting at was the situation where you want to deliver a 
"gnu-win32"
generated ''solution'' with the minimum of hassle. With the static link, you 
one have one
(veRY LARge) exe, rather than one exe and a DLL that has to go lord-knows-where 
- maybe
package creation, a la Solaris is the answer?

What do you think?
