Oops, I meant to ask another question (almost a variation on the same
theme).  Does Cygwin itself (or more correctly, its linker) link
automatically to any of the standard Windows libs (such as kernel32.lib,
user32.lib etc).

The reason I'm asking is that my program doesn't link to them but a few days
ago I accidentally used Sleep() in a program (note the capital 'S') instead
of using sleep().  I thought that the capitalised version was Windows
specific but Cygwin still linked the program okay.
