Is there a way to compile a dynamic library from within Cygwin (using gcc etc.), which itself would use the Cygwin DLL, ncurses port ans whatever else it needs, but which would have an interface so that a native Windows app would be able to load it? I assume it would require Cygwin and its libraries installed to be usable - that's ok.
