* You follow the directions (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html) and the email
here. (For non X packages you email cygwin-apps).
* Yes. I mean, cygwin1.dll is a mingw app :}.
* It's possible, but will need research. I think there is a mklink.exe or
something in one of the packages that creates windows shortcuts for you.
Make your package depend on that package.
