This is the wrong way to go.  Cygwin compiled executables definitely 
need cygwin to run!  When you're running something under cygwin you're 
actually running an app that is using a windows port of the linux 
programming APIs.  If you compile an app using gcc under cygwin you're 
explicitly linking it to the cygwin environment.

Yeah you can still redistribute it, but you'll need to distribute the 
appropriate cygwin dll's and so forth along with your app.

mingw and gdc win (http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/) are really what he 
wants.  I've been using mingw and gdcwin to create binary 
redistributable windows apps for some time now (yes with Tango), without 
any issues what-so-ever.

Dominik, if you have any specific problems, maybe we can help you sort 
them out.
