If you could find the msys2 binary packages, you could just grab the
ones you need and unzip them into your app's custom tree.  I'm not sure
where to get them, though. msys2's web site is very sparse and only
shows the installers and the git source repos.  If I can find them I'll
post here.

As for Windows searching DLLs, if I'm not mistaken, Windows always looks
first in the same directory as the .exe file.  After that it searches
its system folders.
