linking with libcygwin.a (unresolved _WinMain@16)

Hi all,
I've got a huge project to move from Unix to NT, involving about 1000
Fortran files and 6 C files.
The C files contain all graphical X11 stuff and some system interfaces.
I bought DEC's Fortran Compiler for Windows NT, which seems to be really
fast.
My C programs I compiled with Cygnus' gcc and all the Fortran sources
with DEC's VF.
There are some minor issues with the external names, like Fortran calling
per default all uppercase, but these i can solve with special compiler
directives.
The major problem:
I tried to link everything with DEC's (Micro$oft's ?) linker , link.exe
It seems to take everything just fine BUT gives me:
libcygwin.a(libcmain.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Anyone an idea how to solve this problem ?
Why a library needs a Main I don't understand.
Any chance to extract all .o files from libcygwin.a and rebuild it without
libcmain.o or is this idea useless ?
Regards,
Andreas
