is it ok to ship cygwin.dll with an application covered by BSD?


We have a free radar processing system for which we are trying to release
a windows version.  We have obtained permission from our university to
release our code under the BSD license.  We would be happy to choose the
GPL, but the lunatic whims of those in charge seem inflexible in this
case.  We have tried hard to get the system going using mingwin and the
cygwin.a library, which we understand is ok to use, but it doesn't quite 
work, some important libraries fail to build.  With cygwin.dll, 
everything is beautiful.  

I'm not clear if we are allowed to ship the application with cygwin.dll
though.  We could include source code for cygwin.dll, or source code
pointers, or whatever.  I am hoping that since cygwin.dll is freely
available, we can ship it with our processor?

Thanks for any information you can provide,
Britton Kerin
