cygwin without an install?

What impact should we expect if we run cygwin binaries
without running the installation. Our goal would be to
allow our (non-unix literate) users to run some basic
shell scripts, while avoiding install, upgrade, and
configuration issues.
For example, if after a single install of cygwin, we copy
the bin dir to a network drive. Then we write scripts
that 100 users run off the network drive. (We realize
that certain functionality may be lost.)
I've done some basic searching of the mail archives,
and found some users that prefered the "tarball" approach
to installing cygwin - sort of a simular issue.
Can anyone comment on the problems we will run into, and
how we might solve them?
