I don't feel like installing mingw right now as I finally have my Cygwin implementation setup again. Do you know the full Cygwin installation downloaded over a GIG of stuff and took several hours to complete?
You might want to use the -mno-cygwin flag for getting it to compile. MinGW is just a ~12Mb download, so I'd recommend you download it anyway -- no dependency on cygwin1.dll. Also, I do hope you noticed that the compiled EXE is in the archive anyway so you don't need to compile it again :-)

I plan to work on PDFRead in the next few weeks, and one of the first things I will do is use this instead of directly using COM from Python -- which should reduce the installation size quite a bit. I think you can take a similiar approach for the html2mobi which is done in Perl, I think...
