Happy to change the build zip file to remove the DLLs. Is there a stock
README that I can customize for this purpose... i.e. any other apps you know
that distrib the app binary w/o cygwin DLLs?
See http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents
Initial packaging procedure, script-based
There's a link to a generic readme for the cygwin port.
You can also just take mine.
Also, now that Mathomatic is integrated in CygWin will I need to avoid
distributing a bin of Mathomatic?
As you want. But you can take cygwin responsibility from me, if you want 
to. Check the src package and the shell script.
And subscribe to the cygwin-apps list at cygwin.com

makefile.cygwin is not really elegant, but if the targets stay like 
this, it will not be worth the effort to libtoolize it.

Mathomatic is a highly portable, general purpose CAS (Computer Algebra
System) written entirely in C. It is open-source (GNU LGPL license) and
may be distributed. This is a console mode application that compiles and
runs under any operating system with a C compiler. It has been under
development since 1986 and now stands at 14,000 lines of code. The
author is George Gesslein II, with help from the community. The current
version number is 11.3d.
It is licensed under the LGPL 2.1
This is just the mathomatic client from the mathomatic package, based on
work from Gordon McKinney.
Not distributed are the samples for prime number generation:
twin, sumsq, primes and around. If you want these also, get the src
packages and compile them by yourself.

 If you provide the cygwin1.dll binary, you *must* also provide the sources
 which were used for building this version of the DLL (aka same version
 number) on your web site, otherwise you're infringing the Cygwin license.
