I still think how to better port my application. The goal of the 
project is rewrite existing program environment entirely. But for 
beginning it will very original file manager and text/image 
viewer. The screenshot:

It is my "/". You can see "bin" with many files, "etc" with many 
other directories and files, and the most interesting - "proc" 
with many directories with the same structure.

So the problem is that I'm using rsync to copy. And rsync ported 
to windows only with cygwin. And I think: make some rsync 
replacement for windows with reduced functionality or use cygwin 
for my program fully.

Strange that all I can find on "cygwin.h" request is 
http://www.privoxy.org/dox/cygwin_8h-source.html
So I still don't understand what means "ship cygwin.dll".
