Yes, the dependency DLLs should be in every archive. But if they are
identical, there's no problem for the users.

Actually, I normally go to great lengths to avoid the runtime
dependency on the libgcc DLL. For two reasons: (a) people who have
GCC installed will have that DLL, but probably a different version of
it; and (b) more importantly, the GPL mandates that distributing the
libgcc DLL requires to have the entire sources of GCC available from
the same site, and those sources are huge.

It's up to whoever does the job, I was just explaining my personal
views.
