Library managemant on win32 is a nightmare, package management
actually non-existing. So you probably want to do static linking.

You binary is getting too big then ? Well, that's completely
common on win32 - users are usally have fat machines for tiny
things in that world (often for exactly that reason) ;-P

Another way could be using a GNU subsystem (eg cygwin) or 
colinux instead.
