I don't know that I would recommend going for a Cygwin static
install.  If you were willing to put in a lot of work you could come
up with a complete Cygwin/Xastir install that would work on many
systems, but I think Cygwin may install differently based on which
Windows version you're running.  Also, that may violate the Cygwin
license, so check that.

A better recommendation would be to use the VMWare image inside
VMWare Player, assuming that the end-user machines are adequate to
run VMWare.  That way you can run Linux inside VMWare and use either
the Xastir-LSB version or a custom compiled version with all the
libraries you need.
