because it is automatically linked in.  There is a program called depends (think
it was in the lcc zip, if you want it drop me a note) that will list what dll's
a program loads up.  Running it on anything compiled with cygwin shows that it
is being loaded, as well as several other dlls.

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
