CygWin DLL linking and the number of files that have to be distributed

I used to be able to compile Application "X" and give it to someone 
without CygWin by just giving them "X.exe".  However, now it complains 
it can't find one or more DLLs.  I'm assuming this is because CygWin 
switched from static to dynamic linking by default.

How do I get it to go back to static linking so all I have to give them 
is "X.exe".
