It's by design. Cygwin isn't just a lib with function calls, it's
providing lots of shared information between different processes kept by
the DLL in a version specific way. Stuff like process table, /proc
emulation, pseudo ttys, named pipes, tape access and what not, all
depend on the shared information.

Yes, actually it might be better to use an already existing native
Windows application like putty for that.
