Sorry I realize that last sentence ran on to hell. What I mean is, on
the cygwin build, require mingw to be there for the compilation and
invocation of winegcc which is a wrapper around cygwin-gcc. Wine dlls,
programs, server, etc all still would be linking to the cygwin1
runtime but would in no way be dependent on Windows msvcrt only Wine's
and the environment cygwin1.dll
