openssh unix dev - Apr 2007 - Static build under Cygwin?

I was wondering if anyone has statically built OpenSSH under cygwin? 
Mostly I'm just trying to avoid the need to require a specific user to 
install cygwin in order to use the client. Does it involve mingw? Linker 
tricks? Voodoo?

I tried -static but it didn't seem to work. Of course, I could have just 
screwed something up.

Thanks for any insight.

Yes, it would, but MinGW != Cygwin and I don't think OpenSSH likes it
very much in Win32 land.

Cygwin is a POSIX compatibility layer for Win32.

MinGW is gcc+friends for Win32 with little or no built-in
compatibility.
