Nope, the executables that Cygwin create are perfectly legitimate  
Windows executables - all they need is cygwin1.dll (and of course  
igraph's DLL if you use igraph). You can use Dependency Walker to  
check the DLL requirements of your executable. If you don't want to  
depend on cygwin1.dll (Cygwin's POSIX emulation layer), you can also  
try compiling igraph in MinGW + MSYS (a minimalistic GNU environment  
for Windows), or you can compile your program in Cygwin with -mno- 
cygwin.
