Nope, the DLL that comes with Cygwin is several megabytes only because
it contains huge amounts of *debugging information*. I haven't built
a version of cygwin.dll without debugging information myself, but
I've heard that without debugging info it is less than half a megabyte
(somewhere between 300 and 400k, if I remember correctly.)
