Hi list
I'm the sole Cygwin user in my group, and this thread has touched a
nerve.

I heartily second this motion. I'm using sitecopy [1] to maintain a
remote site, and would like to install it for a colleague. I'm compiling
sitecopy from source under Cygwin. However, my colleague would not take
kindly to the idea of a multi-megabyte install for the sake of running
an executable of less than a megabyte.
I do appreciate that the likelihood of this happening anytime soon is
not high ..
