That sounds like the perfect way of making non-DLL requiring EXEs w/
Cygnus..  But, would statically linked EXEs be worth the extra size?  That's
my main concern, especially since if a person is running more than 1 Cygnus
compiled application at a time, you are saving on memory space and harddrive
space to go with dynamic linking.
