[Xastir] Xastir compiled static?

[David Flood]

Unfortunately the Cygwin environment can't be statically linked both by
design and by license.

The license requires that you distribute the entire thing or not at all.
And there's no way in the tools that they provide to statically link in the
.dll file.

One of these days, once I become independently wealthy, I might take a look
at a Visual C or other Windows programming environment copy (it can't be a
direct port due to the way that MS builds their tools) of Xastir.

Right now the closest thing to a "one file" solution is the pre-built Vmware
disk image.

If I can create one  self-contained binary that I can pass out this will be
a huge simplification.  They won't have to go hunting for all the right
libraries and figure out how to get them all to compile, they just copy my
one binary and run it.

Anyone know if I can compile 'static' under Cygwin?  How much of the Cygwin
environment can get linked in?  How "stand-alone" will that binary be?  No
Cygwin install?
