Even application built with cygwin is still a native Window bin
(compiled natively on Windows with a native compiler - no cross compiler
involved). There would be a native mythfrontend.exe and a couple of
libraries next to it (like e.g. cygwin1.dll). Who cares about dlls?
Every Win app has tons of them... Users wouldn't even know that the
application originated on Linux. They'll simply click on a menu item or
desktop icon and that's it. Mythfrontend would run and they'd be happy.
