There's a lot more to cygwin than just the parts you *think* you're
using.  A lot of the cygwin1.dll code is there to emulate the model
Unix uses, so you can do things like "kill", wildcards, or putting
programs into the background.

If you don't want all this stuff, perhaps you should try mingw?  It
doesn't have the 400K dll, but then it doesn't have any of that
functionality either.
