Build grep without needing cygwin?

[Jens Yllman]

 Hello,

 I've not tried it with grep. But there is a option in gcc called
-mno-cygwin, that compiles programs so they don't use cygwin1.dll. But
ofcurse there is some things that will make this not to work. When
compiling this way you use crtdll.dll that comes with the OS.
