I think it just means when you use '-mwindows' at the linking stage, it will automatically link in the standard Win32 DLLs (user32, gdi32, comdlg32, kernel32). It's a convenience, but it keeps one from having to say, somewhat redundantly "I'm a Windows program...and oh yeah, link me to the Windows system functions". - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
