No, that is not possible. You must distribute cygwin1.dll with your
application if your application is a Cygwin application, there is no way
to statically link it in. And doing so means you must release your app
under the terms of the GPL, including making available both the source
for your app and the source for the DLL. (Pointing people to cygwin.com
is not sufficient.) You can also purchase a commercial license for the
DLL since it's dual-licensed.
