Clive are you telling me that if I install Cygwin and do as you have laid out I
get a "stand alone windows executable" without having to copy *.dlls to
/windows/system32 and rebooting? I really would like to give my user one
executable rather than an executable and a number of dlls to install. You know
what users are like.......:-(
 I am hoping from what you said above that I can go ahead and do all my
development on Linux(my preference) and when its working copy the source to
Windows and recompile and, other than any silly errors I made, it should all
work?
