Chickened out, decided on http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/UnxUtils.zip
for my USB Pen Drive as I would only require rudimentary access to
Unix tools on somebody else's PC.
But maybe a project for someone who knows the inner gubbins of CygWin
to create a cut-down version, or document the minimum subset of dlls
etc.
BTW if you buy a USB memory stick (they're really cool!) make sure you
get USB2.0 as it can take 5mins or so to write 20Mb using USB1.1
